Experiential Education for Spiritual Directors in the Expressive Arts
*Part Two*

with Betsey Beckman, MM & Christine Valters Paintner, PhD

at St. Andrew’s Retreat House on the beautiful Hood Canal in Washington State

(dates and format to be scheduled)

DESCRIPTION:

An experiential intensive with a focus on deepening and expanding skills
to integrate the arts and imagination into spiritual direction ministry.

Did you participate in the Awakening the Creative Spirit program and long for another experience of diving deep into the arts with a community of fellow spirit-filled seekers?

Have you had other training in the expressive arts and are looking for ways to bring these gifts specifically to contexts of soul care and compassionate listening?

The focus of Awakening the Creative Spirit Part Two is on deepening the skills of working with the arts and imagination in service of spiritual direction and other soul care ministries. Together we will explore new ways to engage in the service of healing, wholeness, and connection to the Creative Source.

The program will include didactic input, experiential learning, and time for discussion and reflection on the process of integrating the arts into the practice of spiritual direction.

This program is also appropriate for counselors, chaplains, teachers, and others in ministries of presence who want to integrate the arts into their work.
