Exile and Returning Home -- Chicago, Illinois, USA

March 30 - April 3, 2005

Spiritual Directors International - 16th Annual Symposium and Conference

Spiritual Directors International held its annual Symposium and Conference in Chicago, Illinois, USA, March 30-April 3, at the Crowne Plaza O’Hare. The theme was Exile and Returning Home. Exile was viewed from the widest possible perspective including exile from our bodies, our spiritual development, our culture, nature, and the universe. We explored paths that lead to wholeness and a return to source.

The Annual Conferences are open to anyone interested in the ministry of Spiritual Direction.

This includes:
spiritual directors
students/interns/discerners
ministers & faculty
chaplains & hospice workers
other pastoral care providers.

Many first time attendees tell us they had no idea how relevant and beneficial the conference would be for them on so many levels. What we can promise you is a prayerful and exciting learning experience in the context of a nurturing spiritual community.

What participants say about the conference

…a wonderful experience…
…grateful to be with a community of different faiths speaking a common language…
…the light in people’s eyes and the welcoming smiles of so many sweet souls…
