This workshop explores how Spiritual Directors connect with the process of letting go, whether in preparing for a session, during, or afterwards. Letting go is considered a vital component of self-care and care for those they accompany. Through this practical and interactive session, participants will gain a deeper awareness of the 'letting go' process and acquire practical insights and practices, both ancient and modern, for their journey as spiritual directors.
The session will be highly practical and interactive, facilitated by Maria Manuela Silva and some special guests. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to share their wisdom and experience on this important topic, fostering an environment where participants can learn from one another.
