Wellstreams has a long history of fostering spiritual awakening and training in the art of spiritual direction. This program began in 1996 as a two-phase program.
The first phase providing expanded understanding of spirituality and contemplative living. This portion of the program, called Wellstreams|Awakening is open to anyone seeking spiritual awakening in community.
The second phase, named Wellstreams|Immersion, provides practical experience in preparation for offering spiritual companionship, with continued discernment and learning.
