The Reconstructionist Rabbinical College is pleased to announce a new course in Spiritual Direction Training. This program, which requires some travel to the College in Wyncote, Pa., is a wonderful opportunity for professional growth and personal transformation. Through reflection, practice and response, spiritual directors support people to cultivate their inner lives and deepen their connection with others, with creation and with the Source of Life.
The application deadline is August 31. Please visit this link for information about the program or contact Rabbi Jacob Staub at jstaub@rrc.edu for additional information.
