REALIGN – Gospel Care Collective

“Every now and then we find ourselves off course. We started out well: focused, alert, ready. Then life happened. Maybe marriage, kids, ministry, or work happened. And all of a sudden we look up and realize that we stepped off the path we thought we were on.
Realign is a 5 week soul care and journaling workshop that helps you assess what's going on in life (what you might need to throw off, what you might need to pick up, what's getting in the way) so that you can realign and run the race God has for you. My hope for Realign is that you'll come away with practices and convictions to help you on the way.”
Christie LacyCounselor

What is the purpose of Align: A 5-Week Soul Care + Journaling Workshop?

Align is a 5-week workshop for women designed to help you assess your spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical well-being through a reflective process. You’ll develop greater self-awareness through guided journaling, group discussion, and personal reflection and create personalized rhythms to support long-term balance and soul health.

Can’t I do this on my own?

Of course, you can! But we have found that sometimes we need the gentle nudge and accountability of digging in with the help of a facilitator and community. If you resist this kind of work, this communal workshop might be for you. Realign is a worthy investment if you find yourself procrastinating, avoiding, or hesitating to declutter these “spaces” in your life.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for women seeking a deeper connection with God and a healthier, more balanced life. Whether you’re feeling spiritually disconnected or emotionally overwhelmed or simply want to grow in self-awareness and intentional living, Align is a welcoming space for you.

Note that this workshop is limited to 12 participants.

What can I expect each week?

Each week, we’ll focus on a different area of life—spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical health. You’ll receive journaling prompts and reflection exercises to help you explore these areas more deeply. We’ll also have optional group discussions to foster community and shared learning. By the end of the five weeks, you’ll have developed personalized rhythms to guide your ongoing growth.

Do I need to have prior journaling experience?

No prior journaling experience is needed! Align is open to anyone, whether you’re new to journaling or have been writing for years. The journaling prompts are designed to guide you step by step through reflection and personal assessment.

How much time should I set aside for the workshop each week?

Each session will be 60 minutes. We recommend setting aside additional time each week for journaling exercises and reflections outside the group time. This allows for thoughtful participation without feeling rushed, but the workshop is designed to be flexible, so you can pace yourself as needed.

What do you mean by “rhythms,” and how will I create them?

You may have heard of Spiritual Disciplines or a “Rule of Life.” To simplify (though volumes could be said about these!), we’ll develop rhythms and practices that support your spiritual, emotional, relational, and physical well-being. During the final week of Align, you’ll use insights from the previous weeks to craft your own “rule”, helping you live in alignment with your values and faith.

When does the group meet?

Our next group will meet on Fridays from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm CST. It will begin on December 5th, 2024, and run through January 2nd, 2025.

Who is the facilitator?

Christie Lacy is facilitating these groups. You can read more about her and her approach by clicking here.

How much does it cost?

The cost for Realign is $150. This includes five weekly sessions, each 60 minutes long. Payment is due upon registration.

Because these groups are most successful when all participants are present each week, payment is required regardless of attendance. This helps participants value their time and keep to their commitment to joining the group.

All teaching and facilitated journaling time will be recorded for future access.

How do I apply?
