Upcoming Events

Hallowed Journey:
Spiritual Direction Through Diminishment 

Tuesday, October 21st, 6:30 p.m. – 8 p.m., via zoom

In this workshop for spiritual directors and other spiritual caregivers, we will consider the spiritual challenges and gifts of accompanying people with life diminishments, including those that come with aging, loss of physical ability, cognitive decline, etc. We will consider the following:

– How do we provide spiritual nurture and companioning to folks who are experiencing what they understand to be physical, mental, or cognitive diminishment?

– Do we recognize our own assumptions, concerns, and fears about aging and other life changes? What work do we need to do with our assumptions, concerns, and fears in order to be present to directees?

– How might we as spiritual directors be present with people with cognitive or mental health challenges?

– What might it mean to accompany people in hallowing their diminishments – honoring diminishments as holy?
