"Our real journey in life is interior. It is a matter of growth, deepening, and an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love." -- Thomas Merton
Welcome to Hole in the Rock Ministries, Christian Formation and Direction Ministries' Central California Regional Affiliate
We've changed our name to Hole in the Rock Ministries! CFDM's regional affiliates are now established as their own non-profit ministries. We are still affiliated with Christian Formation and Direction Ministries and our ministry is still the same.
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.
To find out more about spiritual direction and what it is please select a button below or look under the RESOURCES tab.
Our second 2 year Spiritual Direction Training program begins May, 2020! See our TRAINING IN SPIRITUAL DIRECTION tab for an information, details and application.
Experiencing the Mind of Christ! This half day retreat includes an introduction to non-dual thinking and the mind of Christ, a helpful way for us to understand what it means to become like Christ, an introduction to contemplative spiritual practices, and time of silence. Saturday, August 17, 2019, 9am - 12:30pm. For details and registration info CLICK HERE.
