Dear Friends,
Every quarter, SDI celebrates the profound impact spiritual direction and companionship creates in the world by assembling and publishing our esteemed Presence Journal—a diverse collection of articles, poetry, art, and book reviews by and for our international community. All members are able to access the new September 2024 issue in full on our website here. Enhanced and Premium members will be receiving their much anticipated physical copies of Presence in the upcoming weeks.
September’s issue features potent and meaningful expressions of the vibrancy of spiritual direction and companionship today including:
- Love’s Labor Lost: The Hidden Cost and Grace of Loss in Spiritual Direction by Tim Arsenault
- Who is the Lazarus of Today? Spiritual Direction at the Margins of Society by Don Bisson
- Meeting the Global Dark Night with Clarity and Tenderness, a keynote speech given by Kaira Jewel Lingo at SDI’s 2024 Conference

- Echoes of the Cloth: The Priestly Heritage of Spiritual Direction by Chris Edwards
- Jazzio Divina: Music, Meditation, and Group Spiritual Direction by Terry Dunn
“…our strength and even our very survival as a vocation has only been possible because of the diversity and adaptability of our practitioners.” —Chris Edwards
