DESERT DAYS First Fridays in even months The Desert Days series is about listening for God’s leading. The main point of the day is to spend time in quiet with our holy and loving God. August led by Catherine Powell, who is the Founding Servant Leader of The Anchorage. Her formation includes the Shalem Spiritual Guidance Program, the 30-day Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, and Jesuit Center training to lead 8-day retreats. Her passion is encouraging a mutual love relationship with God. You can learn more from her about that in Make Your Home in My Love: Live in My Joy. October led by Michael Fleenor, who served as a Servant Leader (Board) and then Chair, with The Anchorage. He is a retired internal medicine physician, who mostly served in public health. He was Health Officer in Birmingham, Alabama, for the last 10 years of his career. He moved from Alabama to Asheville, North Carolina in 2014 with his wife Betsy and lives a quiet life in the mountains. He enjoys hiking, writing, genealogy, and contemplation. December led by Susan Rice, who enjoys offering transformational coaching, spiritual direction and creating space for others to experience the love of God.
