And an Event Near You…?
I’m scheduling a limited number of retreats, workshops, and conferences through Spring 2013 and would be delighted to talk with you about planning an event. You can contact me by leaving a comment below (comments regarding specific event scheduling won’t be published). I’m particularly working to offer events with Garrison Doles, who is an amazing singer/songwriter and creative collaborator. You can find out more about his ministry and hear his music at the Song Chapel website.

wow, you are on the road! Blessings to you as you bless so many others by sharing your gifts. May God anoint you with all you need during this travel/giving season.

Thanks so much, Phyllis. I’m grateful for your blessings. Pray warm prayers for us in Minnesota!

…didn’t anyone tell you it’s WINTER in Minnesota?? The folks must have warm welcoming spirits! Enjoy – such a wonderful smorgasbord you are offering, Jan. Blessings on the way…..

Many thanks, Carolyn! One of my Minnesota friends, hearing that I’m coming up, asked, “Are you crazy?” I’m really looking forward to the trip but also really wishing that St. Brigid’s feast day (which prompted the timing of the invitation) fell in the middle of summer and not in the depths of winter! It’ll be good for building character, I’m sure. Thanks for your blessings.

Any possibility you might be visiting Northern California at any time?
January 25, 2010 at 1:01 PM |
Many thanks for asking, Karen. I don’t have Northern California on my calendar at present, but I’m always open to invitations and would be delighted to get out that way!

Evening, Jan,
Do you ever get up to the Northeast area, New York, New Jersey? It would be lovely to see you. Have you ever heard of the Kirkridge Retreat Center and Columcille in Bangor, PA? I often think that you would like this beautiful place.
Enjoy your travels, and many blessings to you this Lent.

Kate! I was updating this page and realized I hadn’t responded to you—I’m so very sorry! Thanks for your words. It’s been a good while since I’ve done an event in the Northeast but I would love to get back there. (My husband and I did go to NYC for our honeymoon and are eager to spend more time there!)
I’ve been hearing about Kirkridge for years, thinking I would like to make its acquaintance! One day… Had not heard of Columcille in PA but just visited their website—looks lovely.
If you know of any opportunities in the Northeast, I’d be happy to hear…I go wherever the Spirit blows.
Much gratitude and many blessings to you in this new year!

Hi Jan,
Not to worry, I know how busy you have been! I am happy you had the chance to visit the Columcille website. It is truly a magical and spiritual place, and I consider myself lucky to live so close to it. I hope to go there at the end of the month for its next celebration of the Celtic Year. Kirkridge is next to Columcille, so one could visit both at the same time. Perhaps one of these days you might…anyway, still enjoying Sanctuary of Women. I am so grateful for your insights and thoughts on The Painted Prayerbook and throughout the year. I tend to read your books slowly…and then all over again! Take good care and may God always bless and keep you, Kate
