Fresh Oil Ministries introduced an all new contemplative community outreach January 2020 as a result of our retreat attendees asking for an opportunity to continue the group contemplative practices on a regular basis.                                                                                                           

 We do not currently have an active group. Contact us if you have an interest in starting a new group. We are recognizing a growing interest for these group practices in the midst of these challenging days in our country and world.

Gathering Bridge practices include: 

  • Centering Prayer
  • Breath Prayer
  • Lectio Divina
  • Welcoming Prayer
  • Examen
  • Guided Meditation
  • Labyrinth
  • Visio Divina
  • Word of the Year
  • Be Still Prayer
  • Group and individual spiritual direction


We are CURRENTLY OFFERING individual spiritual direction by appointment only. Please email us at freshoilministries@yahoo.com for our spiritual directors registry list and contact information.
