This is a course for experienced spiritual directors to learn how to support and supervise others. The course will cover: definitions of supervision, preparation and contract, the tasks and skills required, the different areas of focus, models and stages of supervision, and creative supervision. Learning is both theoretical and practical. The course will be delivered via Zoom - full joining details will be sent to those who book.
The course runs from 11:00-16:00 each of the three days: 19 - 21 September 2024.
The fourth day of this course will be held on Saturday 8 March 2025. This allows attendees time to put into practice what we learn and discuss during the first three days and return to the group with reflections and experiences specific to the training.

Julia Sheffield
Julie is a retired NHS physiotherapist and healthcare chaplain, a grandmother, an inclusive Anglo catholic priest. Her spiritual direction practice is inspired by our three levels of vocation; to know ourselves as a children of God, to be disciples of Christ, and to accept God's invitation to ministry. As a devotee of St. Ignatius, I delight in finding, and helping you find, God in everyday life and to discern his call.
