The March session focused on Contemplative Attitude and Graced History. The questions to guide reflection papers are:
- How does awareness of your “personal graced history” affect your understanding of spiritual direction?
- What have you noticed about your listening? The listening of your spiritual director?
- What has sparked particular interest, challenge or questions?
Your reflection paper should be one page, single spaced. You will be able to submit it using the form below. Your reflection paper is due April 1.
