Confluence: A Center for Spirituality
Confluence: A Center for Spirituality was founded in the Spring of 2010 by the Rev. Steve Lawler and the Rev. Susan Skinner.
This “roofless” community grew out of a desire to help people deepen and enrich their spiritual lives. We seek to join each person’s journey by providing opportunities and resources for spiritual formation.
Open to all people regardless of denomination or faith group, Confluence fulfills its purpose by offering retreats, spiritual direction, quiet days, and workshops devoted to the spiritual life.
