In affiliation with The Emmaus Center for Spirituality Presents Continuing Education Opportunities For Spiritual Directors, Supervisors and Spiritual Seekers June 12 - 14, 2023 |
World on Fire Spiritual Direction Formation Program, the formation and educational affiliate of The Emmaus Center for Spirituality, is pleased to announce the following in-person or virtual offerings for our annual ongoing formation opportunity for spiritual directors, supervisors and other spiritual seekers. Please see below for details.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
After an introduction to the Spiritual Exercises, this workshop will explore the first movement of the Spiritual Exercises – the grace of being grateful for the awareness that one is a loved sinner. The necessary dispositions for undertaking this encounter will be explored. Then using the text of the Spiritual Exercises, the theological concepts of divine love, freedom and sin will be investigated.

Introduction to the Enneagram: Remembering Who We Are,
Presenter, Deborah K. Delano
Presenter, Deborah K. Delano
The great wisdom traditions of the world agree that the first step on the spiritual journey is that of self-knowledge. The Enneagram is an ancient spiritual tool that identifies nine distinct personality types and helps us to take an authentic look at our lives. We will explore such profound questions as Who am I? Who am I created to be? How can I become my truest self? questions that arise persistently in the course of spiritual direction and the spiritual journey.
About Our Presenter: Deborah Delano, Certified Riso-Hudson Enneagram Teacher
Deborah Delano has joyfully served in the ministry of spiritual direction for nearly 15 years. She received her formation as a spiritual director at the Villa Maria Education and Spirituality Center and trained as a supervisor through the Together in the Mystery formation program. Deborah served for ten years as a faculty member for the four-year Fairfield University Spiritual Direction Formation Program, is a current faculty member with the World on Fire Spiritual Direction Formation Program, and is a founding member of the Emmaus Center for Spirituality in Charlotte, NC.
