Our 2009 School for Spiritual Directors was another great adventure for all who attended. We came together and explored and studied the Myers' Briggs Typology Indicator (MBTI) and learned that even the way we pray can be influenced by our preferred ways of being. The Shadow talks, videos and sharing suggests that there is a lot that we deny or hide especially from ourselves and how important it is to awaken to our fullness including what we have denied or are unconscious of because this helps us to become our true Self. Together we journeyed through the Labyrinth prayer walk at the outdoor Labyrinth and with picture or question in hand we moved into the center praying and seeking God in all things and then moving forward and out once again into the world of life trusting indeed "the Lord is with us". There was so very more and we hope you will write and ask for more information and even an application and consider joining us next year in attending. Our special day of completion of the year-long program (2-two week sessions) included a beautiful Eucharistic Celebration by Abbot David and Fr. Ray O.S.B., and with the school team: myself, Dr. Pat Mitchell , along with the school community we celebrated 8 school members that completed their requirements and received their completion & attendance certificates and oil that was blessed for healing and spiritual direction ministry. Following this blest event we took our class pictures and grads pics and then shared together our luncheon and final meal of our 2 weeks together. Though the school is completed for this season, we do not forget or move on rather we remember and hold together in prayers daily all those who have completed our school program and look forward to those returning next year and those joining for their first year. Let us pray for each other their is much Love to share in the work of the Lord and there is enough room for all of us! PRAISE GOD!
