Discernment: The Art of Decision Making

One day workshop with Ellen Kogstad on Saturday, February 17th.

Discernment is both a gift and a spiritual practice that we can hone and refine and expand.  Solomon talked about “wisdom in discerning”, as a growth model.  This growth process has three components: desire, discernment and decisions.  Living a life of discernment increases the likelihood that decisions will be well made resulting in a life well lived.

Join us in person at the Wilson Abbey in Chicago, or online, on Saturday, February 17, 2024, 10am to noon for this workshop. The cost is $35. This workshop is also provided as part of the 6-week course on Ignatian Decision Making.
