Jane conducts retreats and other programs for dioceses, churches, church organizations and monasteries throughout the country. Program lengths vary with the time available and needs of the organization and include evenings, and extended programs and retreats from one day to one week.

The focus of each program is determined in consultation with each church or group. Jane’s programs bring the ideas to life in a practical and down-to-earth way. Attendees are given both an opportunity to learn as well as to practice what they learn.
