The Church in Wales Course in Spiritual Direction
Course Information
In partnership with Sarum College, St Padarn’s is currently running a Mixed Mode Course in Spiritual Direction which commenced September 2023, and will run for 18 months until March 2025. Participants will attend two residential modules at St Padarn’s, Cardiff, and join with a wider group meeting monthly online.
This new Course in Spiritual Direction aims to equip those who are called to this ministry to confidently and competently accompany others. It is designed to provide a balanced learning environment, blending personal and spiritual formation with skills development.
This experiential Course is supported both by theological foundations and developmental practice, and also with a wide variety of online resources and materials through the Sarum College Moodle platform. The monthly online days include participants from Scotland, England and the Diocese of Europe, and is being facilitated by a team led by the Programme Leader, the Rev’d Julia Mourant.
This is the second Spiritual Direction Course which St Padarn's has offered , and it is hoped that another will follow the conclusion of this one in 2025. So if you are interested in being part of a Spiritual Direction Course in future, please do get in touch and we'll let you know the details of any new courses when they become available.
Meanwhile, please find below the online learning dates for 2024 and 2025 as well as the date of the closing residential.
