We help people (ourselves included) tap into the deep resources of their own faith or spirituality and thereby find sources of strength, purpose, and wisdom in their work lives.
This involves exploring spiritual practices, engaging the Bible and the Christian tradition, and considering the connections between the practical or secular aspects and the spiritual aspects of our daily work.
