Glory be to you O God, for the gift of life unfolding through those who have gone before me.
Glory be to you O God, for your life planted within my soul and in every soul.
Glory be to you O God for the grace of new beginnings
placed before me in every moment and encounter of life.
Glory, glory, glory for the grace of new beginnings in every moment of life.

A season of change , a deepening of purpose
One thing that is constant in life is change. Within the wide story of life, change is the very condition of growth.
CFDM Nevada is stepping into a new challenge and new possibilities in the work of spiritual formation and spiritual companioning.
Initially led by the Rev. Dr. Doug Gregg and his wife Catherine, CFDM NV has been under the wonderful leadership of Jacci Turner, Joan Peysner, Maria Glanzmann, Ken Larsen and Julia Pizzi for the past several years since Doug’s illness and death.
As Jacci is retiring, Catherine is once again joining the team to share in this meaningful work that shaped so much of her life with Doug.
CFDM will continue the work of offering training and supervision for spiritual directors and companions as cohorts are gathered. The emerging focus for this next year, in particular, will be threefold:
Prayer
Our inner life in communion with the Sacred is nurtured and grows through intention and attention. CFDM will offer opportunities weekly, monthly and annually to learn and engage contemplative practices that help us stay centered and connected to God through the ways God has revealed Godself to us.
The “Big Book” of Creation
Knowing God as God is revealed in the cosmos — the heavens and earth and all that are contained therein. As we listen for the heartbeat of God in all that God has made, our relationship with the Sacred is widened and deepened.
The “Little Book” of Sacred Scripture
“Little” not because it’s less important, but smaller in size. Scripture teaches us to recognize the living presence of God in Christ. We learn the lessons of love, forgiveness, grace and humility as we encounter Jesus then and now.
The Book of Life Experience
Our learning to recognize and trust, through the circumstances of our own lives, the Living Presence that indwells us, heals us, shapes us, and through us acts for the healing of the world.
Pilgrimage
Once again CFDM will offer small-group, contemplative pilgrimages to “thin places” to encounter the spirit of place and to rest, play, learn and engage the communion of saints that have gone before us.
CFDM NV partners with CFDM AZ to journey to Iona to study Celtic Christianity.
A pilgrimage to Assisi is being planned to connect to the lives of St. Francis and St. Clare.
Partnership
CFDM NV will participate in opportunities to share dialogue and build community with the contemplative stream of other faith traditions. A recent offering of “3 Cups of Tea” provided a way for women of many traditions to gather and share conversation over a span of several months in ever-deepening conversations about their practices and beliefs, their hopes and intentions and desires. Through experiences such as these, along with many other opportunities, CFDM lives the love of Christ into our life-world in real time.
What people need is a good listening to.
Prayer, pilgrimage, partnership. As these dimensions of CFDM grow and develop, and as some of those who participate recognize a call to become healers in our world through the ministry of spiritual direction and companioning, new training cohorts will be established to provide certification.
Join us as you are able — both in person and in our Zoom events. Partnership with the Interfaith Contemplative Center in Las Vegas allows us to hold weekly, monthly and annual events in a space dedicated to healing and growth. There is always a place for you here as we embrace the possibilities before us.
