WINGS is a program dedicated to the individual spiritual journey. It offers…
- exploration of classical and contemporary Christian Spirituality
- discovery of new pathways in spiritual direction
- discernment of commitment to a Rule of Life and ways of living in the world today: in family life, workplace, faith community, and civic life
- daily prayer, study and reflection together
WINGS provides for two tracks of study.
TRACK ONE provides training for those who wish to serve as spiritual directors.
TRACK TWO provides an opportunity for those who are called to explore and study.
Both tracks will deepen and enhance the participants individual spiritual journeys. Participants in both tracks study, work and pray together. The experience is shaped by:
- a two year program of guided reading, study, meditation and practical experience
- six three-day residential weekends over a two year period
- monthly individual mentoring for the duration of the program with a member of the faculty
- the practice of spiritual direction under guidance (for those in the Spiritual Direction track)
- personal retreat time of 3 days each year – arranged by participant (not included in tuition)
The program will be presented at the Mercy Prayer Center in Rochester NY. The location allows us to worship in the chapel, eat together in the dining room, study and pray together in the house and outside on the lovely grounds.
