Wendy Passmore Retreat and Spiritual Director

I have a deep love and commitment to my work of spiritual direction and retreat ministry and presently I have a private practice wherein these ministry services are offered. My work has included residing at Mount Alverno Retreat Centre where as Director I offered visionary leadership, facilitated retreats and served as spiritual director for groups and individuals. My education includes a BA in Religious Studies from the University of Toronto and a MA in Ministry and Spirituality from Regis College, University of Toronto. I have been trained in both the Ignatian and Franciscan Spiritual Disciplines. My work has also included: Co-ordination of a storefront Christian Drop In Centre ministry and oversight of various community projects. I am a member of both the Spiritual Directors of Ontario network and Spiritual Directors International. I have a wide network of colleagues to assist with the ministry.

I look forward to serving you.

People who have read it said:

Wendy's love, study and practice of the Franciscan Way shines through this book of reflections. I felt drawn into Francis' story of himself and his love of all Creation. The invitation to journal throughout these reflections drew me into a deeper self- discovery and to be the "author of my own story". - The Rev Ruth M. Adams - Anglican priest, Spiritual Director

More than ever, we are being called to revisit the systems, beliefs and norms that have held us. St. Francis of Assisi's life and ministry invite us to another possibility of being in a new, symbiotic relationship with the Divine, Creation, and each other. Wendy's questions, along with the invitation to meet St. Francis through his stories, are an invitation to reflect upon how OUR own story intersects with THE universal story. I am forever grateful to Wendy for introducing me to Francis! - Amy Pritzker, MSW, RSW, Hospice Palliative Care Social Worker

Special thanks to Patricia Baldwin for her illustrations and my friends Ruth, Carol, Patricia and Amy who helped with the editing.

If you would like a copy for yourself or for your group, please let me know.

Cost is $10.00 (plus shipping if needed)

May Francis continue to inspire us on our journey!


 

From Wendy:

Here is a book I would highly recommend for couples to help understand each other. A highly influential book in my marriage.
