On 23 May, we had our online meeting for directors of European Spirituality Centres. The group meets in person every two years and, in-between, meets online every six months.
This meeting was organised differently than previous meetings. Instead of having a keynote presentation and discussion, it was an open meeting with three breakout rooms where people could join freely to discuss the topics that were chosen:

1. Formation programmes,
2. Facilitating communal discernment
3. and the ecological commitments in our centres.

Here is what some people shared at the end of the meeting:

• “It is nice to see known faces, feeling a kind of connection among us.”
• “I found it very enriching to LISTEN to the others.”
• “I have valued the time together very much.”

We intend to have two other similar online meetings in October 2024 and May 2025 before meeting in person in October 2025.
May this network help us grow towards a better service in the Lord's vineyard.
