A response to the question “What is spiritual direction?” Through intellectual exploration of the practice, a personal experience of individual spiritual direction (3 individual sessions) and group conversation focusing on the participants’ experience of these sessions, this class will offer a chance to discover what spiritual direction helps us do in a way that is personally relevant.

The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness
and the world’s deep hunger meet. — Frederick Buechner

Explore autobiographical accounts of living with psychiatric disorder in order to better understand the most profound aspects of psychic anguish and the spiritual issues associated with such suffering. Memoirs produced by persons experienced in such soul-suffering have much to teach us about identity, the nature of suffering itself, care that harms and care that helps, and how to seek healing even if cure is not an option.
Kathleen J. Greider, professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Claremont School of Theology and Professor of Religion at Claremont Graduate University
