Deepening
Direction: From Novice to Apprentice: A year-long development course
Dates:
Fridays, 11 - 4pm, 14 Oct, 11 Nov, 9 Dec, 3 Feb, 3 Mar, 31 Mar,
28 Apr, 9 Jun, 7 July
Cost: £400
This year, as part of the Developing Direction Programme, we are
offering a unique chance to develop the craft of listening and
discernment through intensive practice and feedback, with experienced
spiritual directors.
By nature, spiritual direction is solitary, and there is little or no
opportunity for direct reflection on the practice of our craft, in
the way there would be if one were, say, a carpenter or a writer.
The purpose of the course is not to give more knowledge of
topics linked to spiritual direction, but to offer the participants
an experience of giving spiritual direction, and developing their
craft through kindly observation, feedback, and reflection on what
happened in each session.
The course is aimed at spiritual directors with a little experience
at their craft, but who have not had enough opportunity to take their
practice to a more competent, confident and relaxed level. It
is open to people who have completed a training somewhere (ISC,
Encounter, SPIDIR, etc.), and have had at least one year’s
relationship with at least one directee post training.
The programme will be led by Julian Maddock, with Ken Browne and
Annette Kaye as additional tutors, depending on numbers.
