Spiritual Directors International asks for your prayers and gratitude for the hundreds of volunteers who have served in a global network of regions over the past twenty years. The regional structure begun twenty years ago has served many by placing a familiar face and place on a growing and diverse network of spiritual directors, and all of us are grateful! Spiritual Directors International appreciates the talent and enthusiasm of the many people who have stepped forward over the years to serve in the regions.
Due to a reorganization of Spiritual Directors International, as of July 1, 2007, the regional structure no longer exists. ** On the local level, Spiritual Directors International encourages regional events to continue, and for local groups to be open to gatherings, workshops, and events that foster and enhance the value and serve the ministry of spiritual directors and spiritual direction. In many geographic areas, retreat centers as well as “enrichment, formation and training” programs have been the focus of many educational gatherings.
While no longer a sponsor of 125 regional coordinators, Spiritual Directors International is excited to communicate the many events, programs, and gatherings sponsored by other organizations, programs, and individuals through the Spiritual Directors International Web site, in Membership Moments, and in a new quarterly publication: Listen: A Seeker’s Resource for Spiritual Direction.

International Coordinating Council can be read in its entirety. “Spiritual

Gatherings.”
