Verna finds that using the gifts that God has given to each of us requires that we first recognize and then trust that we have gifts. We then must be willing to release what is not serving our true selves. We may sense that God will be there through this process, but our conscious mind may not allow us to trust. We must then somehow get out of the way and let the Divine do the work.

Workshops and Retreats

Verna is available to custom design workshops or retreats. Specifics such as the type of group, the length of the program, and the general topic or subject are all that is needed for her to create a day or evening that will invite the attendees to explore life in a deeper and more authentic way. Building stronger ties, first to our inner selves, and then to our communities, is possible when we step out of the boat and take that first step of faith towards our Divine Nature.

Nature’s Gift

One of the gifts Verna has received through the creation of Wisdom Works has been her reconnection to God’s natural world. Drawing on the deep energetic pull of the oceans, the mountains, and the deserts, as well as the rhythms of the earth, Verna offers each of us the opportunity to go out into the wilderness and meet the Divine.

It has been her experience that when we spend time in communion with our earth, we are better able to see the importance of living in a simpler and more basic way. We are better able to live with less and thus reduce our impact on the earth. Spending time in the wilderness brings us back to remember parts of ourselves we may have forgotten while living in our towns and cities.
