"In life, we all need the special comfort of girlfriends and sisters who fold us into their light, love and support when we need it most, whether we ask or not. Sacred Threads creates such a community. I was blessed to be welcomed in one Saturday morning and am eternally grateful to be part of the expanding tapestry."
- Liz Walker
"We attended two events sponsored by Sacred Threads - Joan Chittister's inspiring and thought provoking lecture and Michael Morwood's challenging day-long conference. These are two people who love the church and the message of Christ. They both give a vision of what might be, what could be and what has to be if the mission of the church is to carry on in the twenty-first century and beyond. Thank you, Sacred Threads."
- Jean and Dick Horigan, Lexington MA
"Telling the Story Another Way", Sister Joan Chittester's compelling and profound program was one path that reflected the spirit of this fine organization. Sacrad Threads gathers us to push the edge on the old, inspire the new and connect us as empowered women sharing our visions."

Sacred Threads is a ministry located in Boston, MA, offering spiritual companioning, providing opportunities for women to voice their experiences, to imagine possibilities, & to create pathways that connect more deeply with self, others, creation and the Holy. Sacred Threads offers this ministry to any and all who desire to participate.
OFFERINGS
- Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction is a specific ministry for those who look to share one on one conversations with a trained and certified spiritual director to explore deeper relationships with the Holy. Often times, a spiritual director assists a person to reveal where the Holy interacts with him/her in life. This directed experience may provide an individual with the support, understanding, and clarity of mind needed to help recognize where the Holy "bumps up against us" in every day life.
- Retreats
Retreats are usually for small groups of people who desire to have a shared experience of conversation, spirituality, and socialization. Most Sacred Threads' retreats focus on a theme or idea that pertains to women in their experience of spirituality. Retreats may happen several times a year, over a weekend or perhaps during one day.
- Focusing
Focusing - is an empowering process that provides us with life skills that teach us how to listen to our body's wisdom especially when we get stuck in the overwhelming " ups and downs" of daily life. It is a simple, powerful way to experience an inner direction to our life that leads to a fulfilling spirituality.

Workshops
Typically one day experiences, Sacred Threads' workshops offer a larger group information sharing and conversation opportunities about spiritually based topics. Workshops are often led by professionals in their specialty as they share insights which may be helpful for those who attend. Workshops also provide a more concise experience of a topic for participants.
- Events
Sacred Threads' events range from speakers to conferences, all of which provide participants with an opportunity to socialize, pray and learn. The goal of our events is to connect people to others who share similar interests, while challenging them to think in new ways about topics of spirituality.

- Women's Circles of Reflection & Dialogue
We have found there is great power in small women's circles that meet to share ideas and support individual participants. The idea of the circle is that there is no hierarchy of power: all meet on equal levels, literally eye to eye, to share, discuss, and offer ideas about suggested topics. Women's Circles are hosted monthly in homes all over the Boston area.
- Support Groups
Life is full of a balance of joy and sorrow, delight and sadness, and each person's experience of those realities is different. Sacred Threads looks to connect people who are experiencing moments of significant transition with one another, while offering resources and outlets for continued support.
