Our mission is to cultivate spiritual formation, fostering our response to the invitation to deepen our relationship with the triune God. Our trainings, events, workshops and programs offer the opportunity to go deeper in your relationship with God, yourself and the world.

The whole purpose of spiritual direction is to penetrate beneath the surface of a person’s life, to get behind the face of conventional gestures and attitudes which are presented to the world, and to bring out the person’s inner spiritual freedom, his/her inmost truth, which is what we call the likeness of Christ in his/her soul. – Thomas Merton
