Institute for Spiritual Guidance: Supervision Training Program

Siena Retreat Center’s Institute for Spiritual Guidance (ISG) offers ongoing continuing education and enrichment for spiritual guides. The Institute is for both seasoned spiritual guides and those who have more recently completed training. Please reach out to Nicki Nelson at [email protected] for more information.

Supervision Training Program

Being a supervisor for spiritual guides is a special, needed ministry. Through the lens of the universe story, we will explore how creation’s gifts
of interiority, diversity, and communion are intricately woven within every story shared in spiritual guidance. In this training program, experienced spiritual guides will learn the skills necessary for supervising fellow spiritual guides. They will become more aware of their own gifts and work on their growing edges as trained supervisors. Through input, reflection, exercises, and supervised practicum they will grow in spiritual insight and the art and skill of supervision.

This program consists of opening and closing in-person weekend retreats, as well as a practicum component that takes place during the months between:

Friday, August 9, to Sunday, August 11, 2024;
Friday, August 8, to Sunday, August 10, 2025
Both retreats begin on Friday at 3:00pm and conclude with the noon meal on Sunday.
Cost: $1,795 (includes tuition, as well as overnight accommodations and meals for both weekends)

PLEASE NOTE: Books and individual supervision throughout the practicum component are additional costs.

Applications are due before July 26, 2024.
