It will include: listening skills, discernment of spirits, a model of Ignatian spiritual conversation and accompaniment, and ways of praying. The course will help deepen and improve one-to-one pastoral ministry, using Ignatian principles based on the Spiritual Exercises which will be valuable in a variety of pastoral settings. This course will also introduce some of the skills necessary for spiritual direction, but while the course may reveal a gift for spiritual direction, it does not provide sufficient training for people to offer spiritual direction.
Course requirements:
Commitment to one’s own prayer life
Experience of receiving spiritual accompaniment on directed retreats or ongoing spiritual direction
