Spiritual Direction Training - Circle
Our two-year certificate program offers training in spiritual direction, or as we've come to call it, Story Midwifery.
This program is for women who want to learn and practice the art of spiritual companionship, who desire to broaden their skills, and who wish to deepen their own spiritual disciplines. Above all, it is for women who seek to be nourished by their explorations in their own stories, and in the stories of the world.
As we understand it, the most valuable components of mentor training are experiential rather than academic. In Spirations there exists a sure structure to lovingly hold the container of our learning. Additionally, we trust wholeheartedly that through the process of birthing our own stories in compassionate, intentional ways, we are most outfitted to journey alongside another in her own birthing.
