“Mallory led a retreat for our church and we are still uncovering the many layers of the gift of that experience weeks later. She is a gentle, wise, and expectant guide. Overnight, she created a safe and contemplative environment in which strangers became companions. The retreat offered a tasting menu of all that lies beneath the surface of ourselves, waiting to be excavated. Participants could return to what arose from any single session and use that as a starting off point for deeper work. I would recommend this experience for anyone seeking to live in greater alignment.” —Samantha
“Our congregation in West Texas has hosted an annual retreat for 56 years. With prior facilitators such as Richard Rohr, Phyllis Tickle, Tony Campolo, John Claypool, Kristi Nelson, Brian McLaren, and numerous others, our congregation has become accustomed to a level of excellence in theology and spirituality for this impactful weekend experience. Having read Mallory's stirring book and observed her artful facilitation with our Sunday school class, we knew she was the right facilitator to carry forward the depth of this tradition for our congregation. We entered the weekend with high expectations; little did we know that we had not dreamed big enough!
Mallory had listened well to the congregational circumstances and needs, tailoring her retreat uniquely for this faith community and its specific journey of joy and struggle together. Mallory led with a blend of direction and openness that allowed each to experience personally a deeper stirring of the soul. Repeatedly we heard how her style touched attendees in a manner unexpected, inviting connection not only with oneself but also with congregational others in a way that fostered both healing and growth. Mallory’s homily offered in the closing worship service continues to be referenced as one of the most beautiful and impactful sermons ever encountered. There was both gratitude for the weekend shared as well as sorrow that it had drawn to a close—reflective of the uniqueness of our experience with Mallory’s ministry. Should your group or congregation be looking for someone to tailor and to guide your gathering, we whole-heartedly endorse Mallory—a most gifted and unique author, speaker, facilitator, and dedicated humanitarian.” —Dana
