“The AEISD training was an opportunity to gather in intimate community with those willing to respect and accept one another’s beliefs, despite our differences in theology and approach to living out our personal spirituality.”
“The AEISD experience has nourished my soul, enlightened my intellect, given me a wonderful faith community and...brought me closer to God, others and myself".
“AEISD showed me how to go deeper within myself to meet God. It taught me to listen for the Holy.”
"The AEISD program opened up doors for me, inviting me to enter into a deeper and more profound relationship with God."
“The program at AEISD has broadened my depth of understanding, preparing me to become a Spiritual Director in a pluralistic spiritual climate, while remaining true to my own spirituality. To be part of this program is indeed a call and a blessing.”
“Participating in this program allowed me not only to learn about accompanying those on a spiritual journey, but also gave me a wonderful opportunity to deepen my spirituality and become more aware of how God is working in my life. I would recommend it to anyone who may feel a call to walk with others on their spiritual path.”
