Session Recordings
Every participant will have access to recordings of all plenary sessions - and more than 30 workshops - for 3 months after the end of the conference!
Imagine being able to relax as you enjoy the conference, knowing that if you miss a session you can always catch up later. Imagine having all these wisdom teachers accessible on video for multiple weeks so you can review what you’ve learned and go deeper.
This is perhaps the best educational resource SDI has ever offered.

Why This Conference?
Contemplative & Practical Wisdom
Our unparalleled lineup of speakers and workshops will open new vistas of understanding, all with a special focus on practical wisdom that can be readily applied by spiritual companions.
Intimate & Online
Filled with contemplative practice and opportunities to connect with other participants.
Safe for all attendees; digital convenience to engage more, with recordings and daily “cafes” to meet and get to know other participants.
Accessible
Without hotel, airline and eating out costs, the SDI Conference becomes more affordable, so more can participate. Scholarships are available for those with financial need.
Spiritual Companionship
All participants will be able to sign up to offer and receive daily spiritual companionship.
Development of Your Calling
Participants will earn 51 hours of continuing education. And all workshops and plenary sessions will offer insight directly applicable to those in listening care – from spiritual directors to chaplains to life coaches to psychologists.
Joyful
This conference is a chance to celebrate without reservation after a truly difficult year. This conference is a chance to awaken to the kinship of all beings, to embrace truth as a gateway to love – and to share the experience with other deep listeners.
Institutes & Premium Workshops Pricing
NOTE: Since the Premium Workshops and Institutes all occur on the same day, you can only pick one from these two categories. You either pick a Premium Workshop OR you pick an Institute, you can’t pick one from each category. Unless you can be in two places at once… If so, please contact the office as we have much to discuss.

the de-composition of our past
