The Faber Institute, founded in Portland, OR in October 2014, is about awakening people as God does it, showing them how to intensify and to sustain inner alertness (the virtues) and training their capacities to recognize and to serve the highest good of persons who find and develop their lives within the natural world (creation) and the human world (society and culture).

We train them to become quicker to recognize and to distinguish (discernment) the false modes of being a person, persuading them to choose, and to trust, the long-tested and true paths to becoming fully alive, so that they joyfully accept their responsibilities for the common good of all – becoming “God-like” after the pattern of Jesus Christ.

    A Mother's Retreat, May 2024: Talk #1

    A Mother's Retreat is an annual retreat of the Faber Institute for mothers of all ages, from pregnant women and new moms with babies, to empty nesters and grandmothers. Tara Ludwig, Spiritual Director at Faber Institute and mother of three little ones, is the Retreat Director, guiding us through a reverent exploration of the power of “Mother”. Together, we consider how our spiritual capacities as mothers create depth and meaning within our own homes and families, as well as empower us as agents of tenderness in a broken world. Through deep reflection and prayer, inspiring and honest dialogue, as well as shared laughter and tears, we are at common cause in affirming the dignity of motherhood and its role in fostering a more united human family.
