"Metagem runs on love, wisdom, and spiritual literacy. Transformation happens at Metagem with the slightest bit of willingness.”  

—A.T. (2016-2018 Cohort)

My time with Metagem was transformative. I grew spiritually, formed community, and learned to hear God’s voice more clearly. The program puts a heavy focus on the transformation of participants, believing that learning to know ourselves and know the Holy Spirit’s voice in our own lives is just as important as knowing the fundamentals of spiritual direction. I discerned my own calling to ministry in the container of presence and practice I experienced in community with Metagem.

"The Metagem program had a profound spiritual impact on my spiritual life and practices. One of the great blessings has been the community of supportive friends I made in the program who continue to enrich my life.”

“For me the Metagem program was a time of deepening and expanding my own spiritual journey, of thoughtful discernment, and of developing new “soul” friends. I’m grateful for our weekends together at Camp McDowell. I’m even grateful for all the homework! And I’m grateful for a program that has led me to a new vocation. Thank you Metagem faculty and staff for taking good care of us. Your work is increasing access to spiritual direction in our region.”
