Workshop description
This workshop will examine the theology of discernment and its significance in accompaniment. Participants will explore evolving images of God and ways to recognize, respect, and engage with various images by honoring and beholding the Holy Mystery within us, discerners, and the world. This includes looking at the whole person – body, mind, spirit – and attention to healthy boundaries in spiritual accompaniment. It also includes best practices for discerning the emerging integration of a candidate’s personal spirituality within religious life and a congregation’s charism. We will also look at strategies for honoring and incorporating diverse cultural and religious traditions into communal spiritual life. Sessions balance theological input with reflective and creative practices, small-group conversation, and engagement with art, culture, and practical applications.
