Year Two
Already completed Year One of Spiritual Direction? Join us for an immersive Year Two experience.
As a spiritual director, I see myself as a companion to people on their journeys. As a companion, I accompany others who become more fully who they have been created to be, sinking their roots deep into the living waters of God’s grace and bearing fruit in the world. — Susan S.
