Applications are being accepted for the Emmaus School of Spiritual Direction (SSD) in the new hybrid format: The retreat format will follow the same fall/winter/spring course timetable, with each course composed of online learning and a 3-day teaching retreat in Southern Ontario, Canada. This will allow students constrained by distance or schedule to fully participate in each course. The coursework, including online components, will be completed during the three-month course schedule, per the instructor’s guidelines.
