SPIRITUALITY IN THE WORKPLACE CERTIFICATE IN SPIRITUAL DIRECTION BEGINS OCTOBER 21 AT SACRED HEART UNIVERSTIY
FAIRFIELD, Conn.— Sacred Heart University's Center for Spirituality and Lay Ministry is now accepting applications for its upcoming Spiritual Direction Certificate program on Spirituality in the Workplace.
The Certificate is designed for working professionals and students who want to enhance their professional lives and develop the understanding and skills to incorporate spiritual direction into their work.
Participants will have the opportunity to develop a sense of spiritual ministry through the lens of their current professions and/or field of study. The program's focused course of study addresses the growing desire of professional men and women to understand spirituality as it informs all areas of their lives and work. This program is designed for people in a variety of professions including nursing, social work, counseling, education, business, health care and religious ministry.
The 2-year certificate program consists of seven two-day courses, a guided field project and supervision. The two-track program begins each fall term, and participants may enroll in either Track I or Track II (both tracks are repeated every other year).
The Fall 2006 course, Theological Identity: Personal and Professional Spirituality, will run on two Saturdays, October 21 and November 18 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Sacred Heart University.
