Spiritual direction training

For more about becoming a spiritual director, see 5 steps to becoming a spiritual director. Many seminaries and retreat centers offer training programs…here are a few that I’m familiar with in the United States:

• San Francisco Theological Seminary (now part of University of Redlands) in San Anselmo, California. This is the training that I graduated from in 2004, though the program has changed significantly since then.
• Mercy Center in Burlingame, California
• Shalem Institute in Bethesda, Maryland
• Bread of Life in Sacramento, California
• The Chaplaincy Institute in Berkeley, California
