About the taster module
The MA-level taster module ‘Spiritual Direction’ offers in-depth exploration of various approaches to spiritual direction informed by classic Christian and alternative models of spirituality. It also enables you to develop and reflect upon initial or ongoing practice in spiritual direction.
The module is not a training course for becoming a spiritual director. Instead, it is intended for those new to and interested in this form of ministry. If you are already a spiritual director, the module will be a way of deepening your existing knowledge and experience of spiritual direction.
The ‘Spiritual Direction’ taster module is taught by Susanne Carlsson.
