Spiritual Directors Institute

Not only does the Spiritual Directors Network offer a way for you to find a spiritual director by location, religious background, spiritual philosophies and other identities by searching for your preferred categories, it also provides excellent ongoing training for Spiritual Directors. Recently I attended the Engage 2022 conference remotely and I am currently working through the multitude of workshops and keynote speakers they provided.

The workshops have included practices to support campanions in spiritual trauma, dreams and divine creativity, decolonizing spiritual direction, honoring silence, challenging inner shadow work, end of life work, embodied and receptive listening, forgiveness, chronic stress, spiritual heritage and a host of other embodied and informative workshops.

Keynote speakers included Valerie Kaur, Fr. Greg Boyle, Dr. Cornel West, Yavilah McCoy, Pat McCabe, Beverly Lanzetta, Pamela Aya Yetunde, and Marabai Starr.

I also attended the 2021 Renaissance SDI Conference.
