Registration info and cost
From now up until June 1st you can register for the upcoming Year One fall cohort by filling out and submitting an application along with a reference. Once we receive your application and reference, we will respond to schedule a phone or face-to-face conversation. If you are accepted into the program, a $400 non-refundable registration fee is required to reserve your spot.
The cost for the training is $2500 per year, which includes the $400 non-refundable registration fee. The balance can be paid in full or in 4 equal payments of $525. You will be invoiced for each payment over the nine months.
Books, lodging, and transportation aren’t included in the cost of the training. Limited lodging is available at the Abbey of the Heights in Tulsa at half cost to out-of-town participants. Breakfast and lunch are included during each intensive.
A cohort of the School of Spiritual Direction, Year One and Two, is comprised of approximately 10–12 individuals who meet together five times over nine months. We meet at the Abbey of the Heights in Tulsa all day Thursday (8:30 am to 4 pm) and all day Friday (8:30 am to 4 pm).
We require all applicants to meet regularly with a spiritual director before the start of the training to experience first-hand the gifts of this ministry. If you are not currently meeting with a director, that’s the first thing you need to do. If you need help finding a director in your area or online, let us know and we can help connect you with some referrals.
If you have further questions or would like to preview a course syllabus please contact us with your request.
