Connecting you to God and others.
Through prayer experiences, retreats and spiritual direction training.
Are you called to Spiritual Direction?
If you or someone you know are exploring a calling to offer spiritual direction or are simply curious, learn how our two-year Tending the Holy Spiritual Direction certificate program transforms lives through holistically engaging the head and the heart.
Why Christos?
Christos Center for Spiritual Formation is a welcoming community of people who practice and teach contemplative spirituality through experiences and learning opportunities in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Chicago and online. Our learners seek deeper connections to God through time-honored traditions of silence, solitude, prayer, retreat, pilgrimage, and spiritual direction. In addition to retreats and workshops, our primary offering is Tending the Holy, a two-year training program in Spiritual Direction. Learn more.
