Dear Community,
About 570 of us gathered last week, both virtually and in person, in Madison, WI for an SDI conference that set a new marker for our organization.
Over several days, we explored the essence of our calling as spiritual directors and companions through an incredible set of explorations from our keynoters, workshops presenters, and through our interactions with one another! It was rich, moving, joyful, and deep, all in equal measures.
To all of you who attended—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To those unable to join—we missed you, and will make the conference recordings available to you soon. And to everyone else reading this: please take a look below and see the many pictures of the SDI community in action, growing, crying, laughing, wondering, and discerning together. And consider joining this rich and vibrant community!
To thank you all we are extending a 10% discount on membership subscriptions, renewals, and extensions on your existing membership through next Thursday. Please us the voucher code “MAYDR10” and click here to subscribe.
With Love and Wonder for all of you, and everything you bring,
Rev. SeiFu
