About The Workshops
|
The Fourth Week of the Spiritual Exercises and the Contemplation to Attain the Love of God: Presenter, James M. Bowler, SJ
This workshop will explore the meaning of the Fourth Week grace, “to rejoice intensely because of the great joy and the glory of Christ Our Lord.” Initially, we will explore this in the context of the Exercises and then move to how spiritual directors might experience this movement in ongoing direction with their directees. The Contemplatio will be examined not only as a conclusion to The Spiritual Exercises but also as a pathway toward continued growth in one’s spiritual journey through life. |
|
Dreams and Spiritual Direction:
Presenter, Brother Don Bisson, FMS This workshop will provide tools and theory to integrate dream work in a spiritual direction practice. The spiritual direction process is then enhanced by a corresponding conscious journey in dialogue with the unconscious. As the spiritual journey coincides with individuation, there exists the potential for a profound conversion experience. Dreams are the symbol systems which best express for the individuation process to wholeness. This transformation can be expressed within interior change, renewed and healthier relationships with self, others and God. |
