Praying for our Directees

You may have heard it said that one should “only take on as many directees as you can pray for”. But what does it look like to hold those we accompany in prayer? This lunchtime workshop will give us a chance to consider this question together, to reflect on our own practices before and after sessions, and offer a creative blessing practice.

Sacred Pause: Our Annual Examen

Sacred Pause: Our Annual Examen

At the start of each new year, we make space as an LCSD community for a sacred pause in our ministry as spiritual companions. Through guided meditation, creative reflection and time to share together, we’ll prayerfully reflect on the year just past: what we have noticed in our practice, what we have learnt, and where we have encountered God in the ministry of accompanying others. From this place of attentive reflection, we’ll look towards the year ahead and listen for what God may be inviting us into as spiritual directors.

Visibility: Making ourselves available

Visibility: Making ourselves available

This workshop invites us to explore a different way of thinking about visibility. We will consider how making ourselves visible is not about drawing attention to ourselves. Rather, it is about making ourselves available to those whom God may be inviting us to accompany. Through teaching, personal reflection, and group discussion, participants will be encouraged to discern practical and faithful ways of increasing the visibility of both their own ministry and the wider ministry of spiritual direction within their communities. This workshop is for spiritual directors who long to serve well, trust deeply, and make themselves available for the work God is already doing.

Members’ Event - Finding God's Feminine Side

In this LCSD Member session, spiritual companion and author Catherine Cowell will join Fiona Koefoed-Jespersen for a conversation on discovering the beautiful, but often overlooked feminine imagery for God in the Bible and an exploration of why our view of God has been so masculine, why that imbalance might be a problem and what we might want to do about it.

Members’ Event - Remade in the Making: A creative workshop

In this workshop we will explore how coming to the Creator through our creating can be part of our own journey of being re-created. We’ll have time to consider how creativity can be instrumental in our formation and discipleship, space to engage in guided creative practices, and opportunities to reflect together on our experience of encountering the Maker in our making.
