Group Spiritual Direction

WHAT IS IT?

Group Spiritual Direction is a process in which group members deliberately establish accountability and encourage reflection on the state of each other’s spiritual lives, exercising prayerful listening to one another and to God on behalf of each other. This is mainly practiced in a space created for silence, where individuals can practice listening and discernment.
