Conference 2010 Hobart Tasmania

The conference presentations will
explore spirituality from an ecological perspective that emphasizes (Christian) human responsibility to listen to and live in harmony with Earth and all creation, and to be co-creators with God in shaping the future.
Cosmological insights and insights about human creativity will be
especially emphasized to enhance our art and practice of spiritual direction.
‘The holy Energy that set the galaxies swirling is the same holy Energy that spiritual
directors sense in the space between them and a spiritual directee.’
