San Damiano Event: Your Graced Legacy

Register Today

Join Bidi Millet & Margaret Riley for a weekend retreat Sept 10 - 12. Come away awhile and listen. On this retreat weekend, we will creatively use music, poetry, Scripture, quiet time, journaling and small group sharing as a way to explore your personal legacy. From this experience we will craft our own funeral ceremony. According to Rachael Freed “As we accept the blessings and sacredness of our lives, then surely death, an integral part of life, must be sacred too.” We invite you into this time with the Divine and one another.

On September 10, Registration begins at 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm with Dinner at 7:00 pm

On Sunday, September 12, the retreat concludes with lunch at noon.

Margaret Riley

Margaret Riley has been a Spiritual Director since 2008, when she became certified via the Mercy Center in Burlingame, CA. Her Spiritual roots are Christian in the Roman Catholic Church, but in her practice as a Spiritual Director and retreat presenter, she enjoys companioning spiritual seekers from any tradition (or no tradition).

Margaret obtained a Master’s degree in Pastoral Ministry from the Franciscan School of Theology, Berkeley, CA. (FST/GTU) in 2004. She has joyfully lived in the Bay Area for over 31 years and has been a full-time Minister in the Diocese of Oakland since 1994. Margaret’s study, understanding and experience of spirituality is born of a great variety of sources, including but not limited to the Ignatian tradition, Social Justice work, Addiction Recovery and 12-Step spirituality, Codependency recovery, Divorced/Widowed healing, Grief and Loss, Incarceration/Justice work, Mindfulness/Meditation, and Franciscan Spirituality.

For Margaret, “Spiritual Direction is a humbling gift that God is giving me to help others know God IS working in their life, moving them to a mature faith, and an active life in the Spirit. I find it a great honor to journey with others on this Pilgrimage of Life.”
