Who We Are

The Bread of Life Center for Spiritual Formation has grown rapidly since its inception in 1997*. We incorporated as a separate non-profit in March, 2006 when we consolidated our Davis-based programs and our Spirit in the Arts Center into one site in a challenged North Sacramento neighborhood.

Bread of Life offerings and services include:

• Spirit in the Arts, a free open studio space, with opportunities to explore the connection between spirituality and creativity



• Spirit Print, a full service printing operation where local youth are mentored into job skills



• Individual and group spiritual direction



• Seeding & mentoring with organizations seeking to engage their mission in a way that honors the Spirit



• Depth programs including a 3 year formation program for spiritual directors and offerings in Contemplative Dialogue and the Quadratos pattern of spiritual development pioneered by Alexander Shaia.



• A variety of retreats, workshops, and special events

Individuals coming to Bread of Life do not need to profess a particular set of beliefs or subscribe to any faith tradition.

All are welcome.

* We were founded originally out of Davis Community Church, a PC(USA) congregation.   North Sacramento United Methodist Church has graciously made space available for the integrated program while we continue to look for our long-term home. With heartfelt gratitude to both DCC and NSUMC for their support of this vision and work.
