 ‘Siloam’: Full-time or Part-time Programfor the Formation of Spiritual Directors ~ Online and in person ~ 1 Year Full-time (Feb-Nov 2022), or 2 Years Part-time (Feb-Nov 2022 & 2023) Heart of Life Centre for Spiritual & Pastoral Formation extends an invitation to candidates from Australia and around the world to undertake the internationally-renowned Siloam Program for the Formation of Spiritual Directors. This journey of contemplative discernment, following the way of the heart, can be undertaken in one year full-time, or two years part-time (Mondays, 8.45am-4.30pm). The program is open to women and men of varying faith and cultural traditions, who are drawn to listen deeply to their own hearts and the hearts of others, and seek to discern whether they may be called to the ministry of spiritual direction. The Siloam learning process entails a discerning, contemplative approach to personal and spiritual growth. It offers participants a combination of seminars and supervised practice, enabling them to become competent and experienced spiritual directors. One of our current students, Khoi Nguyen msc, shares his Siloam journey briefly in this short video. For those applicants who meet the ‘previous Degree’ criteria, Siloam may be studied as a Graduate Diploma in Spiritual Direction through Yarra Theological Union / University of Divinity. Fee-Help is available to qualifying Australian citizens. The Siloam program is recognised by the Australian Ecumenical Council for Spiritual Direction (AECSD) as complying with, and fulfilling, AECSD’s Contemplatively Forming Tomorrow’s Spiritual Directors: Formation Guidelines for Spiritual Directors in Australia.
