Souljourners is an in-person, three-year spiritual formation program for the training of spiritual directors, at Sophia Spirituality Center in Atchison, Kansas. If you are experiencing a call to spiritual renewal and at the same time want to learn the skills of discernment and deep listening to God, yourself, and others, let’s talk! In preparation for the 2023-2024 Souljourners Program, we are hosting this Zoom inquiry session so you can learn more:

This session will provide:

• An introduction to the Souljourners program
• An explanation of a spiritual direction session
• Time for questions and concerns
• Time for prayer and reflection on your call

While this session is free, we ask that you register at least one week prior to the inquiry session. You will receive an email message with a meeting link the day before the session. Please note that the application deadline to begin the next Souljourners class, which starts in the fall of 2023, is May 31, 2023. For any questions, please reach out directly to Mary Elizabeth Schweiger OSB at 913.426.7355.
