Meets Friday, 6:30–8:30 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Note: This continuing-education opportunity is designed for spiritual directors, spiritual directors in training and any listening professional who is discerning a call to small-group ministry.
We yearn for deeper, authentic connections in our hyperconnected, wounded world.
Our souls desire to see and be seen, to hear and be heard, to love and be loved.
We seek spaces for belonging – small groups – where we can practice together the contemplative ways of being most needed in our current age. Those of us trained as spiritual directors are well suited for forming and facilitating such groups. This session will introduce the core capacities for hosting and holding space in a small group. You’ll have the opportunity to practice a model of group accompaniment that can be used in a variety of settings:
• Group spiritual direction
• Spiritual growth small groups
• Staff workshops
• Grief or recovery groups
• Shared-experience gatherings
• Retreats
