Hi, I’m Sejana! If you know me personally, you might know that I’m preparing to move from TX to KY for work. But before I move in May, I’m offering an opportunity to journey together in-person with me and a few others in my first ‘Guided Practices’ contemplative retreat series Mar 7th – Apr 7th, 2026.

This 5 session series consists of 2 parts:

* A guided in-person retreat that begins our time together (5 hrs) AND

* 4 sessions (2hrs) on Tuesday evenings online (poll is closed).

I have felt drawn more and more over the years to work with GROUPS rather than individuals. I believe that it is in community with one another, even with people that we do not know, where we can give and receive so much from being with one another. Our very presence matters (as I have learned again and again through my work as a hospital chaplain). I have led a variety of group-based events, especially online, but never something that I’ve planned everything myself, in the contemplative style, with the same people through a complete series. If you are intrigued, let me know by staying in touch with me about this project and opportunity. Thanks!

Let’s commit to making time for you + the Holy through participating in this Guided Practices series with me, Sejana.

Here’s a little background:

I am a participant in the 2026 Transforming Community Program by Shalem Institute. I invested in myself to go through this to learn even more about leading contemplative groups. This offering of leading a contemplative spiritual group & retreat is a requirement for the completion of this program, so I’m offering this to you for free. I am looking for my very first participants (I’m planning for about 6) as I try out my style of offerings with you during this series (retreat + 4 sessions starting in Mar-Apr 2026 – during Lent!). Will you join me? 

This opportunity may be for you if:

* You are a person willing to make time in your schedule to be fully present for each of the 5 events.

* You may have recognized feeling overwhelmed with busy-ness, grieved from the state of our nation and world, and/or experiencing transitions in your personal relationships and work… You may be seeking healthy ways to cope.

* You want to be gently led into various practices that offer an opportunity to become more attentive to whatever is within you.

* You are open to exploring yourself (for yourself and for whatever is yours to do in the world) through time given for personal reflection and are open to trying different practices in the contemplative style from the wisdom of various faith traditions.

This opportunity may not be for you if:

* You cannot commit to being present for each of the 5 events.

* You are looking for an individual experience.

* You are not open to becoming aware of whatever is stirring inside of you at this time.

Will you join in?
