"The desert will lead you to your heart, where I will speak."
--Hosea 2:14
The Hesychia School of Spiritual Direction is for people who want to explore the possibility of becoming spiritual directors. It is a 4-week long formation program
offerred twice a year at the Redemptorist Renewal Center, a gorgeous facility adjacant to the Saguaro National Monument West
in Tucson.
The word "hesychia" means "watchful, inner stillness and silence." We call our school
Hesychia because we teach a contemplative spiritual direction that evokes from the directee the kind of still watchfulness
that helps them discover God's desire for their life.
The Hesychia School includes classes on prayer, discernment and
contemplation, self-care and ethics, and over 30 hours of practicum--a class where spiritual direction skills and sensibilities
are taught and supervised. We also include an entire week on Interfaith spiritual direction, where we learn about spiritual
guidance in traditions such as Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Native American spiritualities. We also teach a class
on how to be in spiritual direction with seekers who are "spiritual but not religious."
Teresa is the
director of the Hesychia School and would be delighted to answer any questions you have about our program. She works out of
her home office, so you may call her at (520) 290-6734 or (520) 971-4724 and email at teresa@teresablythe.net.
