An Invitation to You
Is God calling you to deeper growth in your spiritual direction ministry?
Has it been a long time since you offered Spiritual Direction and you feel a little rusty?
Do you feel "stuck in a rut" in the way you offer Spiritual Direction and wonder if there are other ways to move forward with your Directees?
Would you like to keep learning after your Spiritual Direction training program is complete?
Do you wish you had a community of fellow Directors where you can continue developing your skills and growing in this profound ministry of Spiritual Direction?
If you find yourself answering "yes" to any of the above questions– please know that you are invited to join the Spiritual Directors Learning Community. We would love to have you! Together, we will explore the contemplative evocative approach, while deepening our existing spiritual direction skills in the safety of small processing cohorts.
