Spiritual Director
We have a growing online directory of spiritual directors, many of whom are alumni of SoulStream’s Art of Spiritual Direction training program.
What is
Spiritual Direction?
The contemplative journey is too hard and too dangerous to do alone. It’s too counter-cultural to sustain, too much of an upstream swim…
Training in
Spiritual Direction
As one expression of our desire to walk with, listen to, and care for others with compassion and vulnerability, we offer the Art of Spiritual Direction training program.
Are you longing for a contemplative experience with Christ that leads to inner freedom and loving service?
SoulStream offers courses, workshops, SoulCare groups, and a committed dispersed contemplative community of partners to encourage one another to receive the gift of God’s intimate and loving presence in all of life.
We are now receiving applications for our 2026-2028 Art of Spiritual Direction program.
