Spiritual Direction Formation Program

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

This formation program is made up of both theoretical and practical studies conducted in a contemplative learning environment using the contemplative/evocative model of spiritual direction. This model aims to integrate a contemplative stance in the student and the adoption of a contemplative stance towards their directees. It is evocative because its underlying philosophy is to evoke personal and spiritual growth in the student which flow onto their directees.
