Spiritual Mentor Program

What is a Spiritual Mentor?

A Spiritual Mentor is a catalyst for transformation, confidentially interacting with the seeker to stimulate the process of relating and responding to God, as personally understood.

Spiritual Mentor Certification qualifies you to assist those who seek a personal relationship with the Divine Essence within themselves.

The Spiritual Mentor Program consists of:

• Foundations of Spirituality
• Three trimesters of on-campus classes in February, May and September

The program employs a variety of teaching methods: lecture, situational practicum, group discussion, experiential exercises, assigned readings, case studies, student presentations, and videos. A strong emphasis is placed on ethical practices.

Spiritual Mentor enrollees participate in Graduate Week activities with other seminary students. Classes begin on the Saturday morning prior to Graduate Week and continuing on the Sunday prior and the Saturday following Graduate Week. Foundations of Spirituality can be completed concurrently.

Trimester Schedule:

February:

Prayer and Meditation: The Mystical Experience in Self and Others

May:

Spirituality and Dreams, the Shadow Self, Sexuality, and Relationships

September:

Legal and Ethical Values and Issues
