Description

This practicum focuses on the gifts needed for those beginning to offer spiritual direction. The process involves giving spiritual direction and receiving supervision. The group will reflect on: the development of a contemplative attitude; the centrality of the experience of God; interior response to God?s presence and absence; the relationship between spiritual direction and counseling; and praying with one?s body and all of creation. When a student begins the practicum, the four practica courses are taken sequentially. Practicum 1 includes five two-hour individual supervision sessions.
