We come alongside leaders as we invite them to slow down, be more, and FLOURISH in their spiritual formation, discernment, and renewal.

A well-watered soul is a flourishing soul

For 21 years, we’ve entered into the soil of the soul of more than 68,000 leaders. It’s hard work. It’s holy work. And we love it.

Sometimes we’re breaking up soil. Other times we’re weeding, pruning or re-planting. It’s slow, messy and painful work. But always, we seek to co-labor with the Holy Spirit to move the soul toward a place of flourishing life in God.

As we come alongside leaders and learners, we are honored to companion them in the garden of their soul. Slowing. Noticing. Listening. Watching. Praying. Waiting. Believing. Resting. Hoping. Trusting.

Because of generous partnerships with friends like you, we have the joy of inviting people into spacious settings where their souls are nurtured and cultivated. Each and every gift enables us to come alongside others and watch God transform sun-scorched lands into well-watered gardens.

STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION

Being part of Emmaus was a spiritual anchor - a needed voice reminding me to listen rather than to do, to be rather than to achieve. In a world whose pace seems to get faster and faster, the invitation from Emmaus to pause and slow down in reflection and communion with God kept me graciously accountable to model that for the people and teams I lead and support. The fruit of that has been spiritually transformative in both my personal and professional life.

I now understand spiritual formation in ways I did not before, who God wants me to become, and how He’s changing me to become that person. I now understand my role in the world differently than I did before.

Embodying spiritual direction is something I have been practicing ever since my time in Selah...exercising the gift of hospitality, practicing holy constraint, becoming and remaining present to the Holy Spirit’s presence among us, trusting that God is at work in every session.
