Spiritual Guidance Training Program
Our 2009-2010 Spiritual Guidance Training Program will conclude in November 2010.
We are now accepting applications for the next program, to start in January 2011.
An ecumenical staff leads this two-year program, based on the Christian tradition and enriched by various faith perspectives. Permeating the process and content of the program is a belief in the sacredness of all creation and of human experience as the place of God's revelation. Belief in God's unconditional love for and presence in creation is foundational.
Candidates for this program will need some theological background. Training consists of eight annual three-day sessions, and utilizes several learning styles throughout the two years. Graduates will receive a certificate of completion.
