- forming new Spiritual Companions -
Thank you for taking the time to explore this opportunity.
The Art of Spiritual Accompaniment (formerly the Art of Spiritual Direction) is a one year programme with the purpose of forming new Spiritual Companions for our network which operates across Coventry and Warwickshire. It is overseen by the Spiritual Accompaniment Development Group of the Diocese of Coventry but is fully ecumenical.
The Programme will provide a supervised opportunity for participants to deepen their own experience of and relationship with God, and to acquire the foundational knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to accompany Pilgrims on their spiritual journey. To find out more about the programme click on the menu in the top left and select The Programme.
