Experience a spiritual journey like no other. Our Christian spiritual direction training program is designed to be transformative, challenging, and enjoyable. We foster a supportive and engaging community where we share our stories, actively listen to each other, build friendships, learn and develop new skills, and even have some fun.
My experience in the Studion School for Spiritual Direction was profound, life-giving, and life changing. I loved every moment. As a result of my time there, I am working as a Spiritual Director and retreat director both in-person and online. The experience opened the door to a new way of living and working. I encourage anyone seeking a closer relationship with God, deeper faith, and a more mature understanding of Christian spirituality to engage in this program.

The combination of contemplative retreats, learning, and community---these nourished, expanded and brought healing to my soul. The Studion taught me new languages that opened my world, such as appreciating the sacredness of holding each other’s stories, the beauty of silence, spiritual exercises and so much more. My relationship with God and others deepened and I have decided to be a spiritual director because of this journey.
