Navigating My Life: Wayfinding and Inner Guidance

Father Dan Hines

In these uncertain times, finding our way requires courage, an open heart, and deep insight. This program offers a trustworthy, guided process for rediscovering direction, clarity, and purpose. If you are longing for self-discovery, facing an important decision, or seeking inner guidance, this program is for you.

Our guiding theme is wayfinding—the traditional art of navigating the open ocean. Father Dan draws on years of learning from traditional wayfinding navigators, weaving their wisdom into a practice of navigating the inner seas of human life. Through poetry, storytelling, imagery, mindfulness, journal writing, and group reflection, we will listen closely to our hearts and minds, allowing our personal narratives to illuminate the path forward.

Dan offers a quiet, supportive space for soulful growth. Rooted in the Courage & Renewal approach—grounded in centuries of community spiritual wisdom—this program emphasizes reflection, belonging, and wholeness. Together we will reflect, write, meditate, and share in ways that invite authentic emergence from within.

What makes this program unique:
Dan’s approach fosters communities of trust where honest reflection and deep listening help us move toward personal and collective wholeness.

Benefits of attending:

  • A stronger sense of purpose and integrity
  • Expanded capacity to be present and affirm others
  • Skill in asking open, honest questions that invite wisdom
  • Confidence to build communities of support
  • Greater appreciation of human differences
  • Relational trust that strengthens work and life
