Prairie Jubilee
Spiritual Director Practicum for Alumni

Prairie Jubile Spiritual Direction Training program Canada

“Strengthening Wisdom and Awareness”

Graduates of the two-year Prairie Jubilee program know the feeling of fulfilment that arises following this time of deep work and soul growth. New found wisdom and listening skills are then taken out into the world to friends and family and into community.

Prairie Jubilee has graduated over 150 participants from our Spiritual Formation/Spiritual Direction program. We know that finding support for the on-going practice of Spiritual Direction is often a challenge and for this reason, we have decided to offer Prairie Jubilee alumni a nine month Spiritual Direction Renewal Practicum.

Join our current cohort of students…

The first year of the current Jubilee cycle closes at the end of December. Students have completed the spiritual formation portion of the program and are ready to engage in the Art of Spiritual Direction.

This coming year of practicum will be open to any past graduate who wishes to reconnect with the Jubilee community, refocus on the aspects of deeper listening, and revitalize skills. Alumni will work alongside our current students as they delve into this new practice. Each participant will need to secure 3-4 directees for the practicum.

PRACTICUM - focuses on the art of spiritual direction and developing skills in deep listening. This year of practicum includes one-to-one supervision, peer supervision and extensive skills developement.
