About the Supervision Skills for Spiritual Direction course

This is an on-site course at Sarum College.
Supervision of spiritual directors is an important and creative ministry.

This is a course for experienced spiritual directors to learn how to support and supervise others.   The course will cover: definitions of supervision, preparation and contract, the tasks and skills required, the different areas of focus, models and stages of supervision, and creative supervision.  Learning is both theoretical and practical.

Julie is an experienced spiritual director, has been supervising others for many years, and has run this training across the country.   She works for the London Centre for Spiritual Direction as Director for the Encounter Course, their formation programme for spiritual directors.

The course will run from 11 am Tuesday to 4 pm Thursday.

The cost is £380 residential; if you live locally, the non-residential rate is £270. Grants may be available and we can give further information about possible sources.

To enquire, please email Julia Mourant,  jmourant@sarum.ac.uk

What our students say

Clergy Study Breaks

The opportunity for clergy to get away occasionally from their own context, to have an overnight stay in the beautiful setting of Sarum College and all that the Salisbury Cathedral Close offers is hugely valuable. All the clergy I have suggested who have spent 24hrs at Sarum College have benefit greatly from the experienced mentoring where they can talk, reflect, think, plan and pray.

The support and encouragement they receive is excellent and has a positive on their on going ministry. This is something the Diocese of Rochester encourages and supports financially in preparation for their clergy preparing for Extended Ministerial Development Leave (Sabbatical).

— Canon Christopher Dench, Diocese of Rochester Director of Formation and Ministry

Retreats and Private Stays

When I arrived, exhausted and sensitive, I was grateful not to be asked by Reception were I came from, whether I had had a good journey etc. That was the kind of hospitality I needed: a non-intrusive welcome that was found in ancient cultures and still survives in some societies today, where the host asks questions about a stranger and his journey only when the visitor has rested and been given food and drink.

Biblical Study Breaks

I just found it very refreshing – as a leader of a church I don’t get as many opportunities to step out and do courses (my fault, not the church!) and so I loved it. I think it was run really well online – which is a difficult medium to work with.

Pádraig Ó Tuama (pictured) was outstanding in his balance of getting us to engage and sharing his learning. Also the quick availability of resources provided by Sarum College Librarian Jayne Downey was excellent.
