Supervision
Peer Supervision Coaching for Spiritual Directors
Peer Supervision is difficult to do well. Coaching provides a framework and process for learning to work as a group to help spiritual directors explore their experiences and move to greater freedom in offering spiritual direction.
Heather will provide the following supports to a group of 4-6 spiritual directors.
A final meeting is recommended to review the common vision articulated in the first meeting. This may be after the group has met on their own for a set period of time.

As an experienced spiritual director Heather companions spiritual directors as they seek growth in freedom in their ministry. As a fellow learner and sojourner, she desires to accompany others in the role of director and supervisor as a co-discerner and witness.
Heather has been shaped in her approach to Supervision by her personal experience of peer supervision and the wisdom of Maureen Conroy and Lucy Abbot Tucker.
Ongoing Supervision and Peer Support for Spiritual Directors
At The Studion, we understand the importance of ongoing support and guidance for spiritual directors who have completed our training program or are already practicing. That's why we offer opportunities for one-on-one and peer supervision with our experienced faculty.
The Studion was an unexpected gift in my own formation journey. When I entered the program, I expected to add tools for a ministry role in my church. I gained tools but I also found an identity and sureness in God’s great love that previously was not mine. That encounter with God and the wisdom of the faculty created a foundation that led to richer, better thinking about God’s presence and action in this world. The experience has become a plumb line by which I measure my leadership and my companionship. I am so grateful for the renovating of my soul that occurred through the Studion.

There are opportunities in life that will continue to pay dividends far surpassing the initial investment. This has been my experience with training in Spiritual Direction with The Studion. Becoming a Spiritual Director has been the side benefit to the central transformation in my life, knowing and walking with Jesus in a profound way. You will not regret setting aside time for learning, and sharing community with those on a similar journey, all under the tender care of experienced leaders.
