Spiritual Direction in Africa: For Who and Why
Across the vast and diverse continent of Africa, from its Eastern shores to the Western reaches, and from the Northern deserts to the Southern savannas, there exists a profound and widespread yearning for spiritual connection. We are highly religious and spiritual people with deep rooted traditional beliefs in God, the essence of all things, or however each of us might refer to the Ground of All Being. In seeking the Divine, or the Beyond, people often rely on spiritual leaders for guidance and a sense of direction and companionship. As spiritual directors and companions, our challenge is to assist people in responding to that call, particularly in the face of the many challenges we are all confronting. How can we do this optimally? How do we guide people as they deal with many contradictions that exist in life? Where is God, or the Ground of all Being, in Africa amidst our countless uniquely African challenges? How do we build a team of African spiritual leaders who direct and companion others to God, or the Beyond, to share experiences and resources?
In our collective journey, we seek to facilitate a network of African spiritual leaders where we can share our experiences and resources communally. Please join and help us manifest our interconnected community of spiritual mentors, so that we can aid individuals in their quest for meaning, while collectively addressing the multifaceted challenges of the African context.
This gathering is only for Spiritual Directors and Spiritual Companions who are in Africa.
