Supervision is a formal arrangement whereby (i) a person in initial formation to become a spiritual director, or (ii) a qualified spiritual director, works regularly with someone who is experienced in spiritual direction and supervision. Supervision is a process to maintain adequate standards of professionalism and a method of consultancy to widen the horizons of an experienced practitioner. Supervision focuses on the development of the skills, attitudes and knowledge in both those in formation and newer members of the ministry. This five-day (36-hour) intensive unit aims to help spiritual directors grow in the competencies (enunciated below in the learning outcomes) necessary to supervise others in the ministry.

This five-day (36-hour) intensive unit introduces spiritual directors to peer and group supervision. Peer and group supervision are two adjuncts to individual supervision. Each can optimize learning processes during (i) the formation of a spiritual director, and (ii) in his or her ministry. The purpose of group supervision is to develop the directing skills of the spiritual directors within the group. The focus is not so much on the case being presented, but rather on what is going on in the room at the time of supervision. Peer groups offer opportunities for ongoing formation among spiritual directors. This unit aims to help students grow in the skills of facilitating peer and group supervision.
