Life is a journey and we need the help of one another at every stage in life to affirm, to confirm, and to reform. In spiritual accompaniment the spiritual companion/director facilitates the accompanied/directee in discerning the plan of God and carrying it out with greater and greater freedom. This course consists of “in-put sessions” (based on the Word of God, Franciscan Sources and psychology) and “practicum in triads”.The evaluation consists of one short written work based on one’s personal experience at the beginning and an oral test at the end.
