The Wisdom Written on Your Heart: a Lenten Seminar
Why do we Catholics need Lent? Come with us and a small cohort of seekers to find out why the Church prescribes Lent to each one of us in the months before Easter. Learn how to make your lent intentional and personal, and find the JOY of Lenten conversion.
This is the IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE with an in person retreat day at Mount Angel Abbey. We accompany you every week with engaging video lessons, guided prayer and meditation, and LIVE online connection with like-minded friends. On April 6th, we’ll make a pilgrimage to Mount Angel Abbey to hear a sacred choral concert, attend Mass in the Abbey Church, and more!
Together, we’ll discover how the deep safety of self-compassion leads to lasting conversion toward the heart of Christ, whose Resurrection is for YOU.

Fasting with Wisdom: A Guided Lenten Practice
A Simple & Sacred Approach to Fasting in The Wisdom Written on Your Heart
Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that clears space for God, strengthens the will, and unites us with Christ’s sacrifice. But it’s not about deprivation—it’s about deepening prayer, intention, and surrender.
