Retreat Leader
Spiritual Director
Leadership Coach
Speaker & Debriefer

Welcome
The aim of Jason's work is to support Christian men in their personal and leadership formation.
Jason utilises his skills and experience to help you pause, focus and connect more deeply with Christ and yourself.
He helps explore ways for you to become more grounded in God's love, 'spiritually healthy', resillient, reflective and effective in your vocation.
Jason works often with people who are in transitions, wrestling with liminality, exploring new possibilities, 'spiritually stuck', facing difficult situations or entering a season of 'reformation'. One-one he offers spiritual direction, the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises (18th & 19th annotations), leadership coaching/mentoring, day retreats and debriefings. With groups he offers speaking, teaching/training in spiritual formation - particulary focussed on 'the stages of faith' - and tailored retreats (locally or where you are). He continues to work with people from all different denominations and across several continents (see testimonials).

BIO
Jason has a joint honours degree in Psychology and Theology (Surrey University) and is a qualified teacher with a decade and a half’s experience teaching Social Science and Humanities, alongside extra pastoral and leadership roles. He is a trained Pastor (under VCUKI) and with his wife he planted and led West Wilts Vineyard Church for two decades before guiding the Church through a successful leadership transition. Jason has a Post Graduate Certificate in Occupational Psychology from the University of the West of England and completed his professional training as a spiritual director with Sustainable Faith (USA) in conjunction with VCUKI. He recently finished his training to guide people through the Ignatian spiritual exercises with Sustainable Faith (Europe) and he is currently studying for his 'Diploma in Leadership Coaching' with the Eco-Leadership Institute.
Jason works in spiritual direction with men from the USA, Armenia, Belgium, Slovenia, Holland, France, Senegal, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England, whilst overseeing a number of mens outdoor retreats. He speaks at leaders gatherings, churches and events typically focussed on spiritual formation.
Jason is happily married and has two young adult children, working in performing arts and psychology. Outside of work Jason is a musician, songwriter, gym goer, avid film watcher, Systema 'instructor in training', gamer, walker and passionate advocate for the great outdoors.
Retreats
Jason hosts outdoor woodland retreats (Fireside Retreats) for Christian men focussed on uniting body and soul. These are opportunities for building greater spiritual and physical resilience, whilst appreciating the unique gifts of nature. Men come to, rest, reset and make new friends. They also acquire a range of practical techniques to quiet the mind, cultivate inner peace, enhance spiritual awareness and build resilience.
On these retreats Jason is joined by Matt Hill, former paratroop captain, who is a highly experienced outdoors retreat leader skilled in bushcraft and teaching physical health and wellbeing.
Jason works too to creates tailored indoor or outdoor retreats for leaders, churches, teams and other groups in relation to their needs and goals. These can be over a single or several days and hosted in your location or elsewhere. If you are already holding a retreat and looking for a leader or a contributor for talks and activities you can also contact Jason.

Spiritual Direction
Jason creates intentional space to help you explore and develop a stronger, more personal and sustaining relationship with Christ. This is done by meeting monthly to reflect prayerfully on your experiences of God, prayer and life. Meetings provide opportunities for open conversation, deeper listening, spiritual discipline exploration, evolving personal awareness and encouragement.
Spiritual direction is for anybody at any stage of their journey. However, if you are; in leadership, transitioning into a different season, engaging with important choices, discerning a calling, experiencing a challenging situation, struggling with your faith journey, or looking for newer ways to express your relationship with God then spiritual direction may be especially life giving. Each initial session is free so you can explore how spiritual direction might work for you. And if you are new to spiritual direction you may wish to read the testimonials section to glean more of an understanding of its workings and impact.


Leadership Coaching
Jason provides insightful coaching and mentoring shaped for you and your circumstances and by utilising a holistic approach. Together you explore your desires, challenges and goals to develop priorities and strategies that create paths forward and deepen your walk with Christ. In this context Jason draws on experience from psychology, education, teaching, leadership and spiritual formation. He has a deep personal working knowledge of; church planting, church leadership, church building and community projects and church leadership transitions.
Jason also had early volunteer and working life roles within youth-work, finance, healthcare admin and as a musician. This combines into a wide ranging set of working, personal and life experience - including as a husband for 30 years and as a father to two young adults. At present Jason is studying for his Diploma in Leadership Coaching with the Eco Leadership Institute.

 
Speaking
Jason is an engaging, encouraging, thought provoking, inspiring and well humoured public speaker. He communicates effectively with people of any background and uses his gently disarming manner to cover spiritual ideas and topics that can be both challenging and complex. His greatest passions as a communicator are to encourage people in their faith, ongoing spiritual formation, spiritual health, wellbeing and in discerning their vocations and seasons. Having worked professionally as a teacher and as a pastor over three decades he can confidently and effectively relate well to anyone and he enjoys the opportunity to speak in any setting. If you would like to book him for a Sunday service, public event, seminar, workshop, podcast or to teach at a leaders gathering he would be delighted to talk with you.


Debriefings
Jason works with his wife Sam offering comprehensive and personalised debriefings.  These are for leaders who need to pause to take stock and reflect on where they are in their leadership journey in a safe space. Whilst debriefings are often offered to those leaving ministry or a ministry role, or retiring, and for missionaries returning from the mission field, increasingly other leaders are using them as part of their commitment to regular healthy rhythms.
These 1-2 day residential debriefs offer a time for honest, open and guided reflection.
There is opportunity to prayerfully engage with God about how the experience has been and to look toward the future. Making time in this structured way to properly process an ending and a new beginning is an important choice to prioritise personal wellbeing, whilst providing time to celebrate all thats been achieved. As well as making time to acknowledge where difficulties, challenge, unrealised ambition and circumstances have possibly evolved beyond our imaginings. These debriefings are ideal for couples who’ve worked in partnership, whether they were both fully employed or not. And they can also be enjoyed by individuals, who may wish to work with just Jason or Sam one to one.


Ignatian
Spiritual
Exercises
Jason offers accompaniment for anyone wanting to undertake the 18th or 19th annotations (spiritual exercises). The 18th annotation is a ten week course that requires a weekly meeting to review the journey together and can be started at any time. Whilst the 19th annotation is a nine month adventure beginning in Autumn each year that also requires a weekly meeting. Costs for these courses are discussed in person and Jason has limited availability with both of these offerings each year due to the time commitment required.
If you are unfamiliar with what the exercises are and Ignatius then Jason can happily arrange a zoom call with you to discuss this in detail to explore if this is something you want to pursue. In essence the spiritual exercises are an ancient practise that has been undertaken by countless people all ove the world. They are an incredibly soul enriching activity that draws you ever more deeply into daily rhythms of prayer, reflection, comtemplation, gratitude, worship and self awareness. Few remain unchanged by engaging with this opportunity.


1-1 Retreat Days
Jason offers one day retreats for leaders who are looking to get away and take time out to slow down and be with God alongside a spiritual companion. These days offer a chance for you to rest, disconnect from your other responsibilities and the noise of daily life. Here you can think, pray, be still, be quiet and benefit from gentle input designed to meet you where you find yourself and the needs you have. They include food and can provide a comfortable evening stay too if that’s required so you can relax into your time away. The day involves time spent together prayerfully looking at what your hopes are, time in nature to walk and enjoy the created world, space to be alone and time to harvest together what God has shared during the day with you. But as no two people are the same every day retreat can be designed to fit your needs and what brings life and rest to your soul!

Testimonials

 

Spiritual Direction Jason holds the space perfectly, creating a sense of calm, relaxed purpose to the sessions. His depth of faith, knowledge, passion, and positive and joyful demeanour allow for a great balance between listening and gentle direction. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jason. (Matt H)

Matt H
 

Spiritual Direction I am sincerely grateful for the sessions I enjoyed with Jason as my spiritual director. I became accountable and eager to see God work powerfully in my life. Jason picked up on many areas of my life that needed my attention as we journeyed together, and noted how much I identified with Christian in Pilgrim’s Progress. I was to discover my potential as a human being fully alive in God, by developing areas such as boldness, taking new ground and listening (which I’m normally rubbish at!) Thank you Jason for giving me those precious times, reflections and insights in which I could work out my own journey! (Simon M)

Simon M
 

Spiritual Direction I’ve found Jason to be an attentive listener, incisive questioner, and that he has helped me to make space to meet with God. I’ve really enjoyed, and been challenged by, my Spiritual Direction sessions with him, and I look forward to them as valuable time in a full diary. (Jim C)

Spiritual Direction Jason skilfully and sensitively follows the Spirit's lead, providing a space where God meets and speaks and where one can pause and reflect. Neither pushy nor intense, the pace and tone are just what is needed to discover, re-establish or enhance one's connection to God. If you are looking for someone who is experienced, well-trained and above all God-attuned, then you probably won't need to look any further. (Jonathan W)

Spiritual Direction “Jason is a wonderful spiritual director.  He is a deep listener and in tune with Holy Spirit -  offering empowering questions, insights and reflections at the right time.  Meeting with Jason once a month consistently has enabled me to remain accountable and enjoy a consistent vibrant relationship with Jesus as a result.  I really appreciate you Jason.”  (Philip M)

Philip M
 

Spiritual Direction Having Jason as a Spiritual Director over the last year has helped me enormously with my own journey.  He has patiently helped me recognise the invitations from God; and having someone else walk that intentional pathway with me has made it possible for me to continue making steps, without striving, and instead I have deepened the awareness I have of the gentle still voice of God in my own life.  I am in a different place, spiritually, to when I started and I credit the gentle input from Jason for the encouragement that has made this possible.  (Mark C)

Spiritual Direction I've been really blessed by my time with Jason. I live a crazy full life pastoring a church, running a technology startup, being the father of 4 and trying to be a husband, too. I've come to really cherish the chance to stop once a month and be lead into God's presence and hear his voice for me. There have been very powerful encounters that have had a profound effect on my identity in Jesus. (Matt B)

Matt B
 

Spiritual Direction I tried spiritual direction with Jason not really sure what to expect, but having heard friends talk about how valuable it can be. I’m so glad I gave it a go! It’s proved to be such a precious space to reflect and ponder on what God is doing in my life. I often start my monthly sessions with no idea what I’m going to share, and am constantly surprised at how God brings things to the surface, speaks into them, and every time I leave encouraged and with lots to think about. In a word (or three): I love it. (Matty P)

Matty P
 

Spiritual Direction “Being on the spiritual path can be lonely and confusing, especially if you’re just starting out. Jason has helped me to address some deep issues and difficult questions in my life. He brings a fresh, energising perspective to our discussions. I feel a lot more centred and grounded as a result of this work, and it’s helped to strengthen my faith too." (Mike H)

Fireside Mens Retreat This has been a great weekend and has brought me another step closer to Father God. (John B)

John B
 

Spiritual Direction I have been attending regular spiritual direction with Jason for 2 years, and I am so pleased that I made the decision to start. I knew that God was real, and working around me, but I have been repeatedly amazed by how much slips past my notice every day. I hoped to find solace in challenging circumstances, and I do. But I didn't expect that there would be so much to notice and enjoy again in events that have gone well. Spiritual direction, and the opportunity to sift through everyday experiences (whether I perceive them as positive or negative) and find a glimmer of God's action and loving attention there, is a treasure that continues to sustain me. I would recommend that anyone interested in spiritual direction give it a try. You might be surprised at the depth you can experience in even one conversation. (Scott W)

Fireside Mens Retreat A REALLY rich time with you guys, thank you, 5 stars for Jason & Matt for putting it together, a really engaging recipe of bushcraft, survival, spiritual health and camaraderie, and it’s not true you can hear John B snoring from a mile away… (Haydn)

Fireside Mens Retreat Jason and Matt, what can I say. What a fantastic weekend spent in the company of great men. All of us, from different walks of life, all of whom were a joy to get to know, to laugh together with, to listen to and to share this fantastc weekend retreat. I feel richer for it. From the outset both Jason and Matt you made me feel at ease and under no pressure to take part in anything I wasn't comfortable with or unsure about. As it happens I immediately felt encouraged and inspired to step out of my padded life, step into nature and consider the things I take for granted everyday, to stop to really listen to God's created world around me. The way I breathe and move to benefit my physical and mental resilience and how I can intentionally prepare my mind and body as I meet with God. A common theme this weekend was that as a reasult of the world we live in, we as men find ourselves to be very busy. We struggle to know how to stop. This retreat has really helped me find ways to push aside the noise of life and intentionally center my mind on God. This weekend retreat came at the perfect time for me. Matt and Jason in facilitating this retreat so brilliantly, I now feel such a deep sence of peace and restoration and now have some really easy to use practices that I hope to weave into my everyday life. I would recommend this to everyone I know. Sign me up for the next weekend retreat!! (Marco)

Fireside Mens Retreat Just got back from a 24 hr retreat with Jason and Matt. I’ll be honest I didn’t expect much in 24hrs …..but it couldn’t be further from the truth….it was quite simply extraordinary. Two true men of God guiding us spiritually and physically…….never knew that the act of breathing could be so rewarding physically, mentally and spiritually. I would recommend this to all men of all ages as it is truly transformative. Thank you both for a wonderful experience (Jeremy G)

Spiritual Direction 'My time with Jason has been such a gift to me! In his role as a spiritual director, he is so good at holding space for me to meet with God. Which has been a lifeline in all that life has brought me over the last years. The good, the bad, the ugly, Jason helps me to bring it all to the feet of Jesus. With patience, laughter, silence, a thought or reflection; Jason really gives me the feeling of being seen and known. The fruit of our time together has been a deeper communion with Christ. And it has helped me navigate in my roles as a father of young kids, husband, leader in ministry and in my work as a psychologist'. (Flo K)

Spiritual Direction "Meeting with Jason every month helps me to get a better grip on my inner life. As a pastor, I prioritize longevity and spiritual direction helps me to stay emotionally and spiritually healthy. It gives me the opportunity to work through and deal with things going on beneath the surface. For me, Jason is a gentle voice of confirmation, reflection, challenge and wisdom. These meetings mean a lot to me."  (Koen P)

Spiritual Direction Jason is the first spiritual director I’ve had and it has been a joy spending time with him. I didn’t really know what to expect, but from the very beginning I have found Jason so easy to talk to and feel like he hears me and understands me. Would thoroughly recommend. (Guy P)

Spiritual Direction “Here’s a spiritual director that prayerfully listens and asks questions that point me toward Jesus. I’m thankful that Jason has been my spiritual director and made time to meet with me even though I am many time zones away.” (Sven D S)

Individually Guided Retreat As promised, here are my comments on the 5-day retreat last week. I am particularly grateful for two things: firstly, your quiet, open-hearted listening, combined with skillful and non-intrusive prompting and questioning - which have greatly helped me to confirm and clarify the way ahead in my life with God; and, secondly, for providing a real wealth of resources for the way ahead - both by drawing us into a deeper experience of familiar practices and by introducing us to new ones. I am steadier, calmer and more focused as a result, but the real benefit will emerge in the deeper and more trusting walk with God that I feel both called to and more equipped for. I'm deeply grateful for the care and time you took leading us through those five days, and for your readiness to adjust the programme to respond to our particular interests and needs. I pray that you, your family and your ongoing ministry may be blessed. Thank you again, and all good wishes. (Lynn J)

Individually Guided Retreat Jason is a gentle, encouraging and flexible retreat leader.  He adapted to our group’s specific and very different needs with ease, and included a variety of different spiritual disciplines.  The one-to-one sessions were a highlight for me.  Jason is a very good listener and with his gentle encouragement I felt free to talk about some difficult and painful issues in complete safety.   With best wishes. (Marion H)

Spiritual Direction “During a period when I needed to refocus on the Lord, it was extremely helpful to be accompanied by Jason. He came alongside and asked the right questions to get me thinking and re- centered on listening to God’s Spirit in my heart. I warmly recommend his style and experience and the loving care he demonstrates.” (Gordon N)

Debriefing My husband and I had a joint day of debriefing/spiritual direction with Sam & Jason to kick off our sabbatical and could not recommend it highly enough. Both Jason & Sam were so welcoming, kind, fun and sensitive. We came out of the day refreshed, encouraged and empowered to step into the following months well. Their hospitality, experience and wisdom ensured for a super helpful and insightful day” (Emily S)

Emily S
 

Debriefing "After six and half years of church planting including leading through the pandemic my wife and I decided to take a sabbatical. Our first port of call was to spend a day with Sam and Jason to debrief the previous few years and tell the story so far. We found this experience to be extraordinarily worthwhile! Sam and Jason listened with love and humour, helped us to identify how and what God had been saying over the years, and to chat through some of the hurts we were carrying. Sam and Jason were really generous and insightful with their comments, helping to draw answers out of us rather than imposing their opinions, but they were also extremely generous with encouragement. We left feeling seen, loved, encouraged and empowered. We also felt lighter than air! We would do it again in a heartbeat!" (Daniel S)

Daniel S
 

Spiritual Direction "Jason, who is not of the same Christian tradition as myself, supported me through a period of transition, reflecting on my journey with understanding, insight and affirmation. He showed warmth, humour and compassion - I would thoroughly recommend him".  In Christ  (Fr David)

Fr David
 

Debriefing We had been Vineyard Church pastors for over 25 years when in 2024 we felt called to stand down and pass on our leadership of our local church to others. While the transition process was smooth, affirming and trouble free, suddenly not being in pastoral ministry, not being responsible was very strange.  Sam & Jason provided space for us to talk through our history, to examine the hurt and disappointment as well as the joy and gratitude.  We chose to have two Saturdays together, with a few months gap in between. This worked very well for us as a couple. During the first session we looked back at what had happened in the past, then had time for things to both settle and consolidate. For our second session we spoke of things that had arisen in the meantime and then looked forward and dreamt of where God might take us next. Sam & Jason hosted us beautifully in their home. It was safe, comfortable and the food was delicious. They are compassionate listeners and there was always a lot of space and freedom. They asked insightful questions and understood when to leave us in silence to think, or sit back and allow us to talk as a couple. At times they offered us prayer, at others they led us into God's presence to take issues to him, sometimes they left us alone or encouraged us to take a walk. It was a hugely beneficial process and we both felt like we were giving proper attention to the closing of a chapter in our lives and looking forward to what could be next.  (Duncan & Emma)

Dutch Leaders Retreat Greatly enjoyed Jason's flexible and relaxed approach to our two day retreat! Jason has the looks of a 25 year old but has the wisdom of someone who is 52 😉. Just what our group needed. With wit, humor and being Spirit-filled he led us through the two days being sensitive to the moment and taking us deeper into the realm of spiritual formation. (Pim. V)

Dutch Leaders Retreat Jason is a non anxious being ;) .This may be due to his English heritage, but knowing a little of his lifestory I suppose it has far more to do with Jesus. His gracefull reflections, flexible approach and deep experience with spiritual direction was really helpful to me. But moreover he helped me love Christ a bit more than I did before. (Henk-Jan VM)

Dutch Leaders Retreat I experienced Jason as a father figure for the group. He has an authentic calm path with him that invites me to slow down. That’s rare. He’s really curious about who you are and seeks truth in everything. From a really thankfull heart! (Ivo IJ)

Ivo IJ
 

Dutch Leaders Retreat Jason, thank you for reminding me of the power of slowing down. You lead us by example and it is beautiful to see how you integrated the contemplative into your life. You’ve got a gentle and open approach, yet determined to pursue your aims. It was an honour meeting you. (Daniel S)

Dutch Leaders Retreat Jason lives to help people grow in their life with God. He is someone who creates space for others to emerge. Jason has a genuine interest in the story of the person behind the words and titles. With him, you can feel at home because he himself is vulnerable, allowing you to simply be. With Jason, anything is possible, but nothing is forced. When you do step forward, Jason is blessed with the gift of discernment. He sees in to the spiritual realm and distinguishes what the Holy Spirit gives for encouragement and growth. After spending a weekend with a couple of young leaders and Jason on Spiritual Formation, I am absolutly convinced that every healthy leader needs this kind of authentic formation. I am grateful for it. As it has given me concrete tools for my life with God! (Felix G)

Dutch Leaders Retreat After 3.5 years of seeing Jason online for my spiritual direction sessions. I thought it was time to introduce him to my friends and meet Jason in real life. I organised a retreat and invited Jason to take us on a journey. We focussed on the theme of Spiritual Formation. Six of my friends, who are also young leaders in the Netherlands, joined me on this adventure. It was such a delight to have Jason over. His calm, yet confidence presence, helped us te feel safe. He shared with us his knowledge and personal story with depth and humor. A retreat that I will never forget. We met God, we met one another in laughter and tears. Cheers to a band of brothers. More Lord! (Flo K)

Flo K
 

Dutch Leaders Retreat The first time I met Jason was in a zoom meeting in preparation for the retreat he was going to lead. I can still remember so well that Jason took us along in his plans and I was immediately emotionally touched. Not so much by the planning but by Jason's inviting presence. I immediately experienced that everything was allowed to be there. That I was allowed to be there with everything. Apart from the powerful and insightful teachings on spiritual formation and the meditative exercises, this is especially what I remember from our time with Jason. Everything is allowed to be there and God is there. This is what Jason carries with him. Do you long to come to rest and to stand still, to plug in to yourself and God? Then Jason is the man you want to have there to guide you spiritually! (Robbie VV)

F.A.Q

Spiritual direction is an ancient practise within the Christian tradition characterised by a series of conversations where a director comes alongside the directee to help them listen for the words and work of God in their life.  A spiritual director has had special training in the art of listening, being able to demonstrate good communication skills with people, and a deep understanding of many of the ways in which God has communicated with people (and people with God) throughout history.  This would include knowledge of scripture, of church history, of spirituality, and of psychology.
Depending on what is comfortable for the directee, a director may begin the meeting in one of several ways: they may pray a prayer of invocation, and sit in silence with the directee for some moments until the directee feels ready to break the silence and begin sharing what’s happening for them; or sometimes the director begins with a simple question, “How has it been going since the last time we met?” Often there is some time for general conversation as both the director and the directee transition into the direction time. As the directee shares, the director will be listening and from time to time ask questions or make observations about the sharing. The director will “pace” the meeting, creating space around the sharings that seem to be tapping into the directees’ connection with God. The director will validate and encourage the directee, but will never rebuke, command or exploit the directee. Based on the directees’ sharing, the director may make suggestions about spiritual practices or experiences that the directee may want to explore in the coming month.
The directee shares about his or her relationship with God (as much or as little as he/she feels safe to share).  Anything that is in the realm of one’s spiritual life is appropriate to share in the meeting with the director.
Sessions occur monthly and they can take place in person or via Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp Video or Zoom. In person meetings can be done as a walk or sat inside at a convenient location. 
The first initial session is always FREE and there is no obligation to continue or to sign up for a set number of sessions. (Although it is recommended to do an initial three sessions and then review every six-twelve months).
Thereafter sessions are £50 per session (one hour) payable via BACS on the same day of the session if UK based. Overseas payments are made via PayPal on the same day of the session. 
Presently there are plans to host another Christian mens woodland ‘fireside retreat’ just outside of Warminster (south west England) in the spring and then early autumn of 2024. Please email Jason directly and he will provide dates once confirmed. And further pages will be added later to the website.
Jason is also working on a Christian mens retreat for Scotland and N.Ireland in 2024/25 which will be a combined indoor and outdoor retreat.
Updates will appear on the website once details have been finalised.  
Please email Jason directly and he can discuss what it is that you need. From there he can create something together with you that works. Jason already has a variety of resources and can recommend formats if thats helpful as well as creating something entirely unique for you and your people.
You can also book Jason as a speaker, facilitator or contributor at an existing retreat. He is very happy to travel within the UK and Europe for work. 
If you’d like to have a conversation about coaching please email Jason directly and he can arrange a time to discuss with you what you’re looking for and what your current situation is.
Then he can create a personalised plan with you about how to move forward and discuss how often to meet etc. As every persons situation is different the way in which Jason will work with you will be tailored to you and your unique circumstances.
Coaching sessions can be conducted online or in person and the cost is negotiable, but payable via BACS on the day of the meeting.
Jason is available for coaching sessions at conferences, events and team training/development programs if you have a number of people who want coaching.


Jason is an engaging personality with a wealth of experience as a public speaker from education, pastoring and musical performance in churches and elsewhere. He can communicate confidently and humorously in a manner that is accessible to anyone, whilst also providing thought provoking observations.
If you would like Jason to speak at a public event, conference, seminar, gathering, church service/meeting, or as a guest on a podcast or elsewhere then please email him directly to arrange that.  
Jason has been fully and properly trained as a teacher, pastor and spiritual director so he is extremely well experienced in creating safe and professional spaces for everyone he works with. All clients are completely assured that everything discussed is confidential and their anonymity is guaranteed.
As part of his ongoing personal and professional development Jason has his own spiritual director, that he meets with monthly, and a separate supervisor that he meets with several times a year for professional supervision with. In addition he has public liability insurance via Oxygen insurance. 
Please pray for Jason in the work he does and for those he works with. If you wish to financially support or donate towards Jason’s work as a spiritual director, retreat leader, speaker, debriefer and coach you can contact him directly about how to send open donations or specify their purpose.
Examples of this so far have included; sponsoring a number of spiritual direction or mentoring sessions for someone else or providing a free/subsidised place on a retreat.
Also if you are aware of suitable venues that are looking for people to run retreats or who want to book a contributor then please contact Jason directly.
