Spiritual direction in the Christian tradition is a charism and a ministry that requires both a prayerful engagement in the spiritual life and the deepening of specific skills for good practice.
The theme of this two-day online workshop is Discerning with Directees: How to accompany a directee who is making a decision. The workshop will make particular use of the Ignatian teaching on discernment and decision-making, which is one of the great gifts of Ignatian spirituality. However, this CPD workshop is open and welcoming to directors who have trained in other traditions of spiritual direction.
