Monthly Spiritual Reflection and
Discussion Groups
(MOSAIC Moms Groups)
Are you looking to delve deeper into your spiritual life on a consistent basis? Would you enjoy meeting regularly with other like minded moms in your area? Then a monthly spiritual reflection and discussion group is for you.
Run similar to a regular book club, 6 to 8 moms meet one evening each month, rotating homes to host. However, there is no advance reading or preparation necessary. Instead, the groups use Melannie Svoboda's "Traits of a Healthy Spirituality" as a guide. All reading, reflection and discussion is done in the moment, as a group.
"We need one another to hear God's voice, see His face, and follow His guidance."
Mary Marrocco

From Teresa Burke, mother of two children (ages 9 and 4):
"I recently joined the MOSAIC Moms Group and feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing group of women. Although I have met with a friend before for our own “prayer group,” participating in a larger group, with a structured format centered around motherhood and God, has been amazing. I can tell from the first few meetings that this is going to be an incredible journey. This group has already made a big difference in my life, and reinforced to me the importance and power of bringing God into my life, and by extension, my family’s life. I am so grateful to Claire for creating this group!"
From Jessica Weller, mother of two children (ages 7 and 4):
"I am so happy and excited to be part of the first MOSAIC Moms Group. There is so much wisdom, love and support in our group. It is unlike anything I have ever been a part of before. I feel so blessed to be a member of such an incredible group of women. What an amazing gift this group is to me. I can't thank Claire enough for bringing us together."
