Opportunities: Spiritual Directors’ Training

Submitted by Chris Chatteris SJ on 1 September 2010 - 9:19pm

8 long-weekend modules over 2 years. Starts March 27th 2011. Apply soon - deadline, end of September.

This 2-year part-time course helps mature Christians to develop the essential skills necessary for good spiritual direction, especially listening to the deep movements of the Spirit of God in the lives of the people they are accompanying.  The course provides a framework for understanding the many ways that God comes to us and how to identify signs of spiritual growth and development.  While there is a certain amount of basic theory, the course is very practical.

We work with people from the business, political and educational sectors as well as those from various faith backgrounds. We are keen to engage with all who have an interest in improving our society.

The Jesuit Institute is dedicated to providing training and encouraging debate on current social and religious issues from a faith perspective and to stimulating critical reflection, research and dialogue.
