The Journey Begins Here!
A space for men to begin a spiritual quest towards an authentic, transformed life!
Welcome to The Sacred Quest…
…a sacred space where men can either deepen or embark on the spiritual journey they've often delayed, been distracted from or felt uncomfortable to pursue. Through the timeless wisdom of ancient contemplative practices, we offer a nurturing environment where you can authentically engage with the divine and align with your true self.
In a world brimming with distractions and excuses, I believe there's never been a more crucial time to for men to prioritize spiritual development and sacred community.
The Sacred Quest is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you prefer to explore independently through our curated resources, participate in live community practices alongside fellow journeymen, or seek personalized guidance through one-on-one spiritual direction, The Sacred Quest caters to your needs and comfort level.
Except for the one-on-one spiritual direction component, The Sacred Quest is also a donation based program. If you are able to make a donation to support the creation of this space and curate the community components, I ask that you please make a donate what you can. If this is a burden or hardship, then don’t worry about it. I envision this to be an available resource for every man who is interested.
Together, let's embrace the vulnerability of this sacred work. It would be my privilege to journey with you on this profound time of self-discovery and growth. Welcome to "The Sacred Quest."
What We Offer
-
Individual Quest
If you are just wanting to explore your spirituality but not ready to join a community, this is for you. This quest will give you access to our membership website that will have prayers, guided meditations, journaling prompts, recommended readings and videos, and more.
-
Community Quest
The most valuable learning and lessons come from community. Additionally, sometimes a community can help us stay dedicated to our new spiritual practice. In this quest, you will not only be able to learn valuable spiritual practices, you will also be able to be a part of a community learning together. There will be weekly and monthly events for men to gather, engage and practice together. These events will include:
Contemplative Sits
Lectio Divina
Insight Circles
And more...
-
Guided Quest
Oftentimes it is helpful to have someone walk with us in our spiritual journey. In the Guided Quest Stephen will serve as your fellow journeyman in a 60 minute 1-on-1 session. Stephen will listen and help guide you on your journey to explore a deeper relationship with God and your journey to live more fully into your authentic self.
Support The Sacred Quest
The Sacred Quest is now a donation based program for men looking to build and deepen their spiritual lives and live more authentically. Any help you can provide to support this work is greatly appreciated!
Launch Your Quest
-
Spiritual direction is simply having a companion to listen deeply to your experiences and thoughts in order to help you explore new possibilities, deepen your divine relationship, and connect to your deepest and truest self. It is truly spirit filled work.
Father Richard Rohr says the job of the spiritual director is, “to hold on to spirit.” He says, “We don’t recognize our immense need for control. Spirit can’t let you get away with that. We have to find a different meaning and expand the limits of our perspectives.”
-
No. We believe that the divine works in many different ways and languages. The Sacred Quest works in ways that will allow a diverse array of beliefs to be fed by this work. That being said, Stephen is a follower of Jesus and uses this as the basis of his spiritual journey. So, “Christian” language and texts will be foundational to this work but other sacred writings and works will be used as well.
-
Yes. Stephen is available for retreats, church gatherings, speaking events, corporate and organizational work, or other possibilities you might propose. Please email thesacredquestcollective@gmail.com with your particular request.
-
The Sacred Quest seeks to meet you where you are. Therefore, the Individual and Community Quests are a pay-what-you-can initiative. Any donation to help support this work is greatly appreciated.
The 60-minute one-on-one sessions of spiritual direction do have a cost. They are $100/session. However, if this is cost prohibitive, please let Stephen know at sacredquestcollective@gmail.com and something can be worked out.
