Sacred Story, developed by Fr. William M. Watson, SJ, is a 40-week journey into Ignatian prayer, discernment, and growing in freedom in Christ through the practice of Sacred Story prayer.

At All Things Women, we offer a guided formation experience using the Sacred Story materials as the foundation, enriched by our own ATW formation resources, experienced spiritual directors and facilitators, prayerful accompaniment, and opportunities for continued growth within our community. We help women establish lifelong rhythms of prayer, discernment, and living in freedom and security in Christ.

Choose the path that's right for you.

Dr. Stephanie Field, CA

“An essential journey and excellent introduction to Ignatian spirituality. The support of the All Things Women 40 weeks group was the perfect format to learn this style of Examen prayer and rules of discernment."

Carol Ruiz, CA

"As an inexperienced Sacred Story small group leader, I can attest to the strong support given to us through All Things Women. We were given so much assistance, providing us confidence and perspective to move on productively instead of getting hung up on uncertainties."

Anna Corrigan, AB, Canada

"It was so beautiful to have the support and encouragement from All Things Women as our little Sacred Story group journeyed through this process. The lived wisdom was invaluable. The safe space to explore and deepen my relationship with God was life-changing."
