Spiritual Guidance and Mental Health
Friday, May 3, 2024
1:00-4:00pm via Zoom

Come, explore important questions regarding the relationship between therapy and spiritual guidance with seasoned psychotherapist and spiritual guide Pat Francis, OP, PsyD. This workshop will explore the interface between spirituality and mental health and what spiritual guides need to be attentive to when working with folks who are navigating mental health issues.

Supervisor Training Program

Through the paradigm of the Universe Story, we will explore how creation’s gifts of interiority, diversity, and communion are intricately woven within every story shared. Together, program participants will develop necessary skills, 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.
