Spiritual Direction in a Digital Age

Tuesday, June 9 at 10:00am

Led by Vicki Scheib, spiritual director, a supervisor of spiritual directors, and instructor with the Sustainable Faith School of Spiritual Direction

All of us use video calls routinely: for work, school, church, and connecting to friends and family. Many spiritual directors have also transitioned to online direction sessions. Online platforms provide for ease of meeting, but they bring other challenges. This webinar will address how to maintain a deep, human connection as well as the ethical considerations of using online platforms. This is a continuing education opportunity for spiritual directors, spiritual direction students, supervisors of spiritual directors, and spiritual friends.

Plenty of time will be given to answer participant questions. Questions are also welcomed during registration to allow time for thoughtful response. For more information and to register, click here.
