Spiritual Direction Formation Program

Four Year Formation course for those seeking to be a Spiritual Director

Four Year Formation course for those seeking to be a Spiritual Director

Our formation program combines both theoretical and practical studies within a contemplative learning environment. We use the contemplative/evocative model of spiritual direction, which focuses on:

  • Integrating a contemplative stance in students

  • Encouraging students to adopt a contemplative approach with their directees

This model is designed to evoke personal and spiritual growth in students, which then positively impacts their directees.
