Spiritual Director or Spiritual Mentor

Throughout history, the human race has felt a deep need to connect to and understand the spiritual realm that we sensed behind everyday reality.We have always sought out the help of shamans, healers, priests, mystics and elders to guide and challenge us, to deepen our spiritual understanding and create a practical spiritual connection of our own.

In the 21st century, this search has been accelerated for many people. At the same time the institutions that traditionally have provided spiritual support are struggling to survive. We have set out to discover an ever-evolving spirituality on our own yet at certain times on our path we want formal spiritual guidance, mentoring and direction.

This program is suited for participants who want to:

  • Challenge and deepen their spiritual beliefs
  • Broaden their knowledge of different belief systems and comparative theologies
  • Understand the concept of divine guidance and learn to apply it to everyday life
  • Discover the value of ritual and ceremony
  • Explore spiritual and cultural traditions that surround death and dying
  • Support others though spiritual crisis, the dark night of the soul and transformation
  • Examine spiritual values and practices
  • Become a Spiritual Director and Mentor

It is set up in 4 units with each unit building upon the understanding and capacities developed in previous sessions.
