SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR TRAINING
Spiritual Direction is primarily a “charism”, a Holy Spirit energized gift to God’s people. The practice of it can deepen one’s capacity to connect with God and others. Whether your goal is to become a Spiritual Director, or to clarify, focus, and rejuvenate your own spiritual journey, attending a School of Spiritual Direction can have a significant impact. Sustainable Faith offers training in Spiritual Direction across North America and various locations in Europe. Please visit the CONTACT page if you’d be interested in participating in a school.
If you, or someone you know, might be interested in Year 1 and Year 2 classes, please visit the Sustainable Faith website, and you can email me, I’d be happy to offer details.
Sustainable Faith also now offers a one year Year 3 Postgraduate class for those who have already completed two years of training.
