Companioning Our Own and Others’ Suffering: Continuing Education for Spiritual Directors and Other Caregivers
Wed, Nov 12

Amidst adversities, life can feel very disorienting. What is God up to in these seasons of our lives? Getting stuck on the why can paralyze us from following him into deeper relationship. Even in the painful times, and especially in the painful times, he is seeking to usher us deeper into his love.

About the event
In this session, we will cover and integrate three broad areas. First, we will reflect upon a biblical foundation of God’s loving presence and redemptive activity in our suffering. Second, we will consider some core Ignatian spiritual concepts that invite an openness to what God is up to in these times. Finally, we will discuss how these combined elements inform our companioning others in their suffering - whether a friend, a caregiver, and/or a spiritual director.
Cost: $25
