Four Contemporary Spiritual Direction Issues:
As we journey in spiritual direction new issues arise. Don Bisson will name four issues for conversation to enhance our Practice of Direction.

A. When journeying with the very elderly such issues as scrupulosity, fear of death, regrets, the harshness of inner voices and others create deep suffering. How do we journey with them into peace and self-reconciliation?

B. With so many new issues coming into people's lives, what is the role of consultation, and who is available for this ministry.

C. The spiritual director must discern the differences between authentic spiritual practices and magical thinking. What criteria do we use?

D. Many directors are beginning to age out. How do we discern when to begin retiring from a spiritual direction practice?

DON BISSON, FMS is an experienced spiritual director, formator, and supervisor who has worked with dreams and spirituality for over 30 years. He has a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Pacific School of Religion in the area of Jung and Spiritual Direction and a Masters of Transpersonal Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology with his masters project being “Dreams and Discernment”.
