The whole morning was one continuous movement toward a single truth: each woman has a name only God gave her, and the day existed to help her begin to hear it and begin to live it. The core values work surfaced who she is, the Envelope Two meditation named the call God has spoken over her, and the Program of Life helped her begin building a life around both.
Objectives. Women came to discover their core values, the ones at the center of who God made them to be; to reflect on how those values have shaped, strengthened, or shifted from childhood to today; to encounter the unique identity, name, and personal call God has given them; and to leave with new insight and a next step for their Program of Life.
What we did. After an overview of the year's formation, women worked from the Core Values List to name the values that are true for them now. Envelope One followed: fifteen minutes of silent journaling with an image of themselves as a little girl and as an adult with a gift between them, letting the child and the woman speak to each other and noticing which values were already present in her as a child. Charlene then led a guided meditation, "Discovering Your God-Given Name," inspired by Fr. Herbert Alphonso, S.J., and Discovering Your Personal Vocation, followed by Envelope Two: the same image, now with Jesus present. In the Program of Life segment, Miranda interviewed Charlene live as a coaching conversation, focusing on the spirit and purpose of the practice rather than completing every section. The morning closed with women sharing their takeaways in dyads and triads.
Study Circle #2 builds on this work with the extension activity "Through the Eyes of Those Who Love You."
