Institute For Spiritual Guidance

Institute for Spiritual Guidance

Siena Retreat Center’s Institute for Spiritual Guidance (ISG) was developed in response to the need for continuing education and growth of spiritual guides. We invite trained spiritual guides to join us for:

Using the Arts in Spiritual Guidance

Expressing oneself through the arts can be a means to process feelings and thoughts, increase self-awareness, and access inner truth and wisdom. In this workshop, Sr. Nancy Raboin will teach spiritual guides how to integrate the arts in their work with spiritual seekers and grow in their comfort with creativity. Participants will practice using visual arts within the context of spiritual direction, in the roles of both guide and seeker.

A Retreat for Spiritual Guides

We often use the metaphor of journey to describe the spiritual life, implying that there is a clear road map. Experience teaches that this is seldom a good analogy for life.

More realistically, we have experiences that give us a sense of God, the holy, the sacred, the “beyond me.” These invite us to live an integrated and gracious life—a path we wander along until our next moment of wonder! This weekend retreat for spiritual guides will invite us to look at our own wondering and wandering path.

Friday, February 7, to Saturday, February 8, 2025
This retreat begins at 6:30pm Friday and ends on Saturday at 4:30pm.
The cost of this retreat is $200 which includes overnight accommodations and meals.
