Supervision is critical to the healthy, whole-hearted companioning of others. Offering the gift of hearing others share their vulnerabilities, joys, and learning is transformative. You will share your transformation, challenges and formation as a spiritual direction companion and receive affirmation and curious, spirit-led, co-discernment.
Confidentiality: Groups are a place where personal soul-work happens. This kind of intimacy requires the confidence that nothing shared in the group will be shared outside the group.
Regular attendance: Group members must commit to coming to each meeting if at all possible.
Willingness: Group members must commit to an honest relationship with one another and what each holds holy, participating wholeheartedly in the group process through contemplative listening and response, and opening their spiritual grappling for consideration by others
This spiritual direction supervision group has a trained supervisor as the facilitator. Groups open to companions with at least 12 months training. Monthly groups open to companions seeing >2 seekers.
We will work with verbatims (defined VERY broadly) and Focus Question Forms. FQFs come in several models-something for everyone.
Pay-from-the-heart pricing guideline: $384 to $544 for 8 meeting commitment. (can be paid in 1, 2 or 3 installments.) (That works out to $48-$68/meeting. When you contribute more, someone else is able to pay less.)
FORMAT:
Four (three minimum) individuals, 1.5 hour meeting, 1 person shares each meeting. A resource will be provided the week before. Your FQF* is due as pre-work if you will be sharing.

*FQF = Focus Question Form: questions to prompt meaningful reflection.
One of my great passions in life is to hold sacred space, where I coach spiritual caregivers who want to show up whole-heartedly for their seekers, and know that supervision is the best way to stay clear and connected to their divine.
Participants say: this format is affirming of my gifts and identity. It enriches my ministry. It is grounded in proven training.

Testimonials:
I have participated in Spiritual Direction supervision with Amy for several years, both as an individual and in groups. I keep coming back because of the value that I have received from her supervision. She and others in supervision always see between the lines of the situations that I describe and offer excellent commentary for me to reflect on my approach and to use in future sessions with my clients. As a participant in a group, Amy, by her example, helps us to learn how to give helpful and insightful comments to other group members when they share in a session. Amy is particularly gifted in this kind of reflection. I also appreciate the Lectio/Visio divina and the pre-reading she suggests ahead of a session and that we use at the beginning of the session that never ceases to broaden our perspectives. I and my spiritual direction have greatly benefited from supervision by Amy. -Barbara
