Do others seek you out for guidance, a listening ear, or heartfelt conversations?
Do you notice a growing desire to help others go deeper in their spiritual lives?
These might be invitations of a call to the ministry of spiritual direction. Audire has been forming spiritual directors since its founding in 1989. The 3-year program will assist you in the discerning of your call, the deepening of your spiritual life, and developing the practice of holy listening.
