It is an intense course consisting of input sessions and practice in triads with a w/holistic approach. While explaining the different principles of spiritual accompaniment, inspiration is drawn from the World of God (divine energy), franciscan sources (franciscan energy) and psychology (human energy). The course is primarily meant for a personal healing, so that, being open to the operation of the Spirit of the Lord, the Prime Spiritual Companion, the spiritual companion may be able to facilitate the accompanied/directors to discern the will of God and carry it out more and more spontaneously.
The evaluation consists of a short work of two pages (experience-bound) at the beginning and an oral exam at the end.
