This workshop delves into the contemplative tradition, with a particular focus on ‘The Cloud of Unknowing’, to form guidance for a young contemplative to get a sense of the landscape we are considering, and how that might offer suggestions for direction today. The session will also explore together some of the challenges that contemplative prayer may present and how Direction can support.
As more directees are drawn to explore contemplative practices, this workshop aims to equip Spiritual Directors with a deeper understanding of the contemplative tradition and its relevance to modern spiritual seekers. Attendees will gain practical tools to respond effectively to directees interested in or practicing contemplative prayer, enhancing their ability to accompany individuals on this particular spiritual path.
