Perhaps you have been focusing for some time yourself, maybe even using it occasionally in spiritual direction. Maybe you sometimes ponder deeper questions about how biospiritual focusing relates to spirituality. Or perhaps you simply want to grow in this practice that you have found so helpful for yourself and others. We invite you to join us for a ‘deeper dive’ into this life-giving practice with other spiritual directors who also seek greater awareness and understanding.
This Level III program is for spiritual directors seeking to deepen their understanding of biospiritual focusing as well as how to help those they see for direction become more attentive to their embodied experience of God. We will begin with time together (in person) at St. Benedict Center - October 17 - 19, 2023, followed by five monthly 2 hr-Zoom sessions as well as partnered focusing with other participants between Zoom sessions and individual focusing sessions with facilitators.
