What is Group Spiritual Direction?
Group spiritual direction is a way of listening and reflecting with a community of fellow seekers on our encounters with God in everyday life. Over time, group direction transforms who we are and how we understand our calling in the world.

SIDE NOTE:
The Group Spiritual Direction model — used internationally — was created by Rose Mary Dougherty, S.S.N.D., through her work at Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. In her book, Group Spiritual Direction: Community for Discernment, Sister Rose Mary writes of how her awareness of a "group" spiritual direction experience heightened through her reflection on John Wesley's "class meetings," the Society of Friends' Clearness Committee, and Wesleyan scholar David Watson's model of Covenant Discipleship groups. Expect to be surprised by God's grace.
