Retreats & workshops
I say never pass up a chance to step out of the ordinary rhythm of your life and step into a juicy retreat or workshop. Retreats are precious times to reflect, play, experiment, learn, and connect. The desire for retreat is surely the movement of Love and Life within you, calling you deeper into relationship with all that is Sacred and Good, with your deepest self, and with your community.
You may know others who share your desire for a retreat or workshop. If your faith community, friend group, or others want some time together in a retreat or workshop created just for you, please get in touch and let’s start planning.
I am available for retreats, workshops, religious education programs, and individual and group spiritual direction. I am also available for inspirational talks, sermons.
In all that I offer, it is my joy and honor to serve LGBTQ+, BIPOC and people of all races, and military individuals and families.
A retreat or workshop can support you in your desire to:
Live with integrity
Live faithfully and joyfully
Live in alignment with your deepest wisdom
A retreat might be held at a retreat center, a church or community building, or even a spacious home. The size of the group can vary from a few people to a large group of thirty or more. Costs of a retreat vary, so we will work out the specifics together.
Retreats can be customized to your group’s interests, desires, and Spirit’s leading.

PrayCreate
These retreats integrate the natural harmony of spiritual and creative energy, using a variety of creative exercises to help participants open in new ways to God and God’s movement in their lives.
With an array of topics, exercises and media (crayons, paints, pastels, colored pencils, clay, paper, etc), participants explore and reflect on Spirit’s work within them.
While Mary Kay uses creative exercises in all of her retreats, creative play and expression are the primary mode of prayer, exploration and discovery in PrayCreate retreats.

Dangerous Prayer
Risky, daring, and dangerous prayers—openings to the unexpected
Pray, a foundational practice for many, is often deeply comforting. Some prayers, though, can be quite risky, daring, even dangerous. Some prayers can lead to unsettling events that may even upend one’s life. Let’s explore together what it means for you to pray dangerously.
Forming and Unforming
Clay with be our teacher and playmate as we explore the things that shape and unshape us
In this retreat, we will play with clay as we explore what forms us and why it matters; and what might need unforming. Plus we will consider how we participate in the formation of who we are and what might be possible.
Sacred Practice:
Habits of Life & Love
Spiritual practices can open you more fully to the gifts of grace, love, joy, connection, and more
This retreat gives space to play with and explore the “what” and “why” of spiritual practices, how they form us, and how they help us live with integrity and freedom.
Holy Resistance,
Sacred Surrender
Our faith journey includes not just surrender, but also resistance
A common belief is that we are called to surrender to Divine will and that our resistance is an obstacle to overcome. In this experiential and contemplative retreat, we will comb through the vibrant interplay of surrender, resistance and our spiritual lives.
Couple Retreats
My husband Mark Moss and I offer experiential couples retreats where couples in stable, committed relationships can explore and deepen their covenant and grow in intimacy
In our time together, we learn how the stuff of our relationship is fertile ground for the work of the Spirit. This is a highly experiential retreat.
Sacred Ritual
Good ritual honors your personal story while simultaneously placing you into the bigger story of Life.
Rituals are all around us, some obvious (such as weddings), some not so apparent (your morning routine, maybe). In our time together, we explore the meaning and components of ritual. In addition, you will have a chance to begin creating a ritual for something important in your life.
