Spiritual Direction Programs • Spiritual Formation/Spirituality Programs
Through our Essentials Conferences, the Renovaré Spiritual Formation Institute, The Apprentice Series conferences, and other events, Renovaré offers learning experiences in spiritual formation and discipleship. See the Events Calendar for upcoming opportunities.
In addition to Renovaré-sponsored events, in the past we have been contacted by many people interested in programs, both academic and non-academic, in Spiritual Direction and Spiritual Formation/Spirituality. Generally, these programs represent one or more of the traditions emphasized through Renovaré.
Renovaré is not affiliated with any of these programs. And please be aware that some may not be founded on a wholly Christian perspective. Will some Christians be drawn to utilize them nonetheless? We believe so. Christians are drawn to understand the hearts of all peoples, which means we will study points of view different than our own, and, at times, even learn from them. We leave it to you to discern which programs would be helpful to you and which would not.
This list is provided as a resource only and is not an endorsement or recommendation of any listed program.

Members of our Board of Trustees may be connected with one or more of these programs in various ways, i.e. teaching, leadership, etc. Their endorsement of a program as individuals or as representatives of other organizations does not constitute an official Renovaré endorsement.
If, after contacting one or more of these programs for further information, you find that their training is no longer available, please contact the Renovaré office so that we can update our list. If the organization with which you work is listed and you prefer that it not be included, please contact us and we will remove it from the list. We would also appreciate your contacting us if your program information needs updated.
