This SDI Educators Gathering will explore contemporary transformational processes and themes that have not always been fully integrated into past spiritual direction training programs. The Center for Engaged Compassion (CEC) has identified three processes of transformational psycho-spiritual caregiving\, and their contextualization in two embodied realties\, that are augmenting previous spiritual direction training. These three processes are: \n\n\n\n1) Contemplative Spiritual Direction \n\n\n\n            2) The Compassion Practice’s PULSE of Spiritual Restoration \n\n\n\n            3) Internal Family Systems (IFS) \n\n\n\nWith their contextualization in: \n\n\n\n            4) Our Somatic Embodiment \n\n\n\n            5) Our Culturally Located Social Identities \n\n\n\nThis Educators Gathering conversation will introduce these processes and themes and invite conversation about ways of integrating them and other complementary processes into current spiritual direction training. \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nFrank Rogers Jr. is a spiritual director\, supervisor\, certified IFS practitioner\, retreat leader\, writer\, and professor of spiritual formation at the ecumenical and inter-faith Claremont School of Theology.
