Encore Presentation Sept. 15 - Interspiritually Present

SGTI is pleased to announce a wonderful opportunity for you to learn about what it means to be "interspiritually" present as you companion others. 

Interspiritually Present:
​Exploring the One Heart of Spiritual Companionship

an interactive, day retreat will be offered by Drs. Jeanette Banashak and Janice Lundy on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Dominican Center in Grand Rapids, MI. 
We hope you will join in. 
​
This is the same presentation made by Jeanette and Jan in an all-day institute at the recent Spiritual Directors International Conference in St. Louis in April. 
​Details below. 

As spiritual companions, how do we sit with others who have different practices and beliefs, yet similar longings for connectedness?

In this full-day seminar on spiritual companionship, we will:

• Begin with recognition and understanding of the Perennial Tradition and what our place is within it
• Learn who the spiritually independent is
• Learn tools for contingent communication
• Practice with others using Pure Presence® - an interspiritual model of non-judgmental, compassionate listening and presence
• Explore the relationship and interconnectedness between our identity within our particular tradition and other religious/spiritual/ethical traditions

As we discuss the major shifts in this interspiritual age, we will consider how our religious/spiritual identity intersects with our companions.

This program is open to spiritual companions, spiritual directors, chaplains and ministers in healthcare settings, ministry leaders, and related spiritual companionship roles.

Cost: $85; $65 for spiritual directors actively practicing at Dominican Center

Price includes continental breakfast, lunch, and materials.
