Spiritual Direction
All Spiritual Guidance: Nurturing the Call participants need to be in a regular relationship with a spiritual director of their choosing, normally meeting about one hour per month. Associates also need to be involved in offering spiritual guidance to others. This ministry historically is confirmed as a gift and calling by other people coming spontaneously for continuing attention to their spiritual life. Prior to the Program, evidence is needed that others have sought out the associates for assistance in attending God in their lives, preferably on a regular basis. By the beginning of the Program and throughout, associates need to be offering formal guidance (in-person, face-to-face) to at least two other people on a regular basis. Normally these are people who would be coming for spiritual guidance whether or not one is in a program. These need not be the same two people throughout the Program. Arrangements for one's own spiritual guidance and guidance with two other persons must be made prior to submitting one's application. (If you are moving, or anticipate a move soon after the Program begins, it is better to wait until you have these relationships naturally in place before you apply.)
