Emerging Practitioner Circle

For spiritual direction students and emerging practitioners who desire to grow in contemplative guidance, spiritual formation, and community.

The Emerging Practitioner Circle supports those who are beginning their journey as spiritual companions, caregivers, and contemplative leaders. Members are invited into a community of practice where they can deepen their formation, cultivate relationships, and begin establishing their own rhythms of companioning and care.
