Are you curious about spiritual direction but not sure where to begin?

This one-hour introductory session offers a gentle and practical overview of the ministry of spiritual companionship. Together we’ll explore what Spiritual Direction is, why people seek it, and what to consider when looking for a spiritual companion.

You’ll have space to reflect on what matters most to you in this kind of relationship, learn how to find a director, including using the LCSD directory, and discover questions to ask in an initial meeting. We’ll also touch on the ethical framework and code of conduct that guide this ministry.

Open to all and intentionally ecumenical, this session is designed for anyone beginning to explore the gift of spiritual direction.

When: 19:00- 20:00 GMT
