AAR meeting registration and information

Friday, November 22

  • Experiential Event

3:00 pm – 4:30 pm at the Zoro Garden in San Diego’s Balboa Park

Info: This will be a time of individual and group reflection on our spiritual and vocational journeys in relation to the life cycles of a butterfly and will be facilitated by Reverend Mary Ellen Azada in collaboration with SSCS Board members Trey Clark and Tim Geoffrion. Mary Ellen, formerly of Fuller Theological Seminary, where she served as Executive Director of Fuller Careers and Personal Development Office and, prior to that, Executive Director of Fuller’s Call Discernment Office, is a trained spiritual director. As the walking distance from the event in the Park to the location for the meal may be about 2 miles, you are advised to plan accordingly. For example, some of you may wish to travel from the Park in small groups in an Uber or Lyft.
