Welcome to Hole in the Rock Ministries, Christian Formation and Direction Ministries' Central California Regional Affiliate
.While our name is Hole in the Rock Ministries, we are also the Central California Regional Affiliate of CFDM. To learn about the other CFDM affiliates, CLICK HERE.
Our mission is to cultivate spiritual formation, fostering our response to the invitation for a deepening relationship with God. This involves focusing on practices, disciplines, and ways of being that enable us to hear, see, and experience God more fully. To that end we provide contemplative spiritual direction and supervision training programs, resources and support for those called to the ministry of spiritual direction.
Our first ever Dance Your Prayers event will be on Monday, April 17th in Fresno. Dancing has long been a way of prayer, a way of expressing to God all our emotions; longing, hope, praise, fear, anger, trust, guilt, joy, gratitude. Each person is free to move in whatever way they choose. “Dance” is as broadly or as narrowly defined as anyone needs it to be! The atmosphere is reverent and each person’s space is respected. The time one the flyer is incorrect ... the correct time will be from 6:30-8:00pm. https://bit.ly/DanceYourPrayers to register.
Our next retreat, Transfiguring Patriarchy by Attuning to the Deep Feminine is scheduled for April 29th, 2023. This retreat will explore our connection with the Divine Feminine and how recovering this feminine dimension is necessary for the transformation of patriarchy, which can be described, in part, as our loss of contact with the feminine. https://bit.ly/TransfiguringPatriarchyretreat to register.
