ABOUT RESOURCES FOR RENEWAL
Every age needs voices of wisdom and vision to navigate the challenges of life.
In response to the pressing needs of our world, we have developed
resources for renewal to support your desire for a more purposeful life.
Resources for Renewal offers media resources and opportunities for immersive experiences that reveal sources of wisdom, creativity, insight and meaning. We provide access to a wellspring of renewal through seminars, retreats, and spiritual immersion experiences.
Resources for Renewal distributes resources for individual and communal growth and provides programmatic consultation with individuals and organizations.
Resources for Renewal promotes greater understanding of human resilience using insights and practices from contemplative traditions. Drawing deeply from prophets, poets, and saints, we work to respond authentically and courageously to the challenges of our day.
