The Emmaus Spiritual Direction Course
July 1 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Spiritual Direction for the South West – Applications now open for September 2026.
This two-year, ecumenical, part-time course is for those sensing a call to listening ministry and a desire to deepen their own spiritual journey.
Year 1 offers a foundational understanding of spiritual direction with a focus on listening skills, spiritual conversation and an introduction to Christian spirituality.
Participants are supported in an ongoing discernment of their call to accompany others in faith.
Year 2 is for those who have discerned a call to the ministry of spiritual direction.
Participants develop advanced listening skills and good practice in supervision, whilst further deepening their own spiritual journey and awareness of the major Christian traditions.
The Emmaus Course invites participants to enter a formational journey in the company of a community of fellow travellers; it is delivered in a blended format of in-person Saturdays in Plymouth, and evening Zoom meetings with one residential weekend in each year (usually in Truro).
