Skill Development for Experienced Spiritual Directors
COURSE PURPOSE
This two-part course is designed for formed spiritual directors who want something deeper, something richer, something that cannot be found in short workshops or continuing education.
Perhaps you have completed your formation and have some years of experience and you now have a desire to “sink in” and take your spiritual guidance ministry to the next level.
Maybe you did an abbreviated formation or were formed in a particular style of spiritual direction, (for example, the spiritual exercises), and are now looking for a broader more expansive perspective.
Possibly you are already on your way and you would like to explore how your own deepening inner work and contemplative practice can more fully serve your ministry.
