What does Christian spiritual direction have to offer those who are struggling with their own mental wellbeing? This workshop will look at some of the specific gifts, and tools spiritual direction has to offer and some of the research around spirituality and mental health.
And how do we as spiritual directors maintain our own wellbeing? We will look at some simple and powerful self care principles that might enable us to receive some of the care we offer to others
