This 7-week workshop invites trained spiritual directors to engage in critical thinking about ethics in the ministry of spiritual direction and thoughtful discussion about supervision in a supportive environment.
Participants should expect to actively engage on both sides of the supervision relationship, posting at least one of their own ministry narratives and responding to the ministry narratives of others. At the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped and encouraged to find creative ways to engage in peer supervision for their own ministry context.
This workshop builds on the training received in formal spiritual direction training programs and it is expected one be actively engaged in the ministry of spiritual direction, either formally or informally.
