An open place for you...
Immersion is a 9-month experience in spiritual transformation. Gather for five weekend
retreats with a diverse group of women and men to explore and deepen your spiritual life.
Through integrative avenues such as meditation, ritual, spiritual direction, study, song,
worship, laughter and play we explore the Sacred breaking forth in us and through us into the
world.

How Immersion Came to Be:
Through the creation of Spirations Institute's two-year certification program for spiritual direction, program director Trish Bruxvoort Colligan learned that future applicants desired
something first: a program offering intensive spiritual transformation and preparation before enrolling in training
that required practicums and internships. Thus, the idea for Immersion was born. Believing that the program would offer a more solid foundation and a
greater depth of experience with a leadership team, Trish eagerly approached Karen Hagen, pastor of Tippecanoe Presbyterian Church. An experienced retreat leader and spiritual
director, Karen comes to Immersion with a heart full of passion and gifts for all people. See leadership bios below.
With such wide-awake women as Trish and Karen,
participants will have the opportunity to be
beautifully stretched
beyond their current understandings of faith and themselves.
Plan to be immersed in the energy of wonder!
