Testimonials

It calls me to be more sensitive to the youth, to try to walk in their shoes and be present where they are, not where I am.

This workshop made me realize that accompaniment is not a one-sided growth. That, as someone who accompanies another, I am also growing with the person I accompany.

The workshop has helped me better integrate spirituality with psychology. Masters classes in counseling discourages using the spiritual aspect in counseling. However, integrating those teaching in the parish setting is difficult because we are not trained to do so. This workshop has helped me reconcile spirituality with counseling in my ministry in the parish.
