For whom is the course intended?
There is a growing interest in how our spiritual journey relates to living with love and purpose in today’s world. This calls for people skilled in spiritual conversation, fostering the trust and welcome that allows us to engage in encounters at depth. The gifts of this listening hospitality can be offered in a variety of contexts.
This formation programme builds on the foundation course Growth in Prayer and Reflective Living and develops the disposition and skills involved in listening attentively to God, ourselves and others. It also explores how Ignatian discernment helps us to seek out life-giving choices for ourselves and those we encounter. It is likely to benefit those involved in a wide range of pastoral situations. For some, this formation may lead on to training in spiritual accompaniment/direction.
