Hello {{Constituent First Name}}!

Mark your calendars! SGTP Applications become available in January!

The application process is intended to enhance the discernment you are already engaged in and to invite you to become even more attentive to that within you that is feeling allured into this program. It is designed to take time. This is why we open applications a year before the cohort begins, and hope you begin it sooner rather than later. We encourage you to enter into it contemplatively, to reflect and linger in your own desire.

The application consists of:

• Seven short essay questions and a spiritual autobiography
• Recommendations from three members of your spiritual community
• An interview with two members of the Spiritual Guidance Training Program team

To begin this application process, you will need to email me at nnelson@sienaretreatcenter.org, and we will set up another short phone call – about 30 minutes long. During this call, I’d like to get a sense of where you are in your discernment, and to answer any questions you may have about the application process. After we connect, I will email you the links and documents you will need to apply.

In joyful anticipation,

Nicki Nelson

SGTP Coordinator
