Rev Dr MaryKate Morse — Professional Development for Spiritual Directors of Leaders and Ministers
SGM Professional Development Event | April 2025
In this deeply insightful and empowering seminar, Rev Dr MaryKate Morse explores the unique call of spiritual directors who companion those in leadership — ministers, pastors, and people in positions of spiritual authority. With clarity, warmth, and profound wisdom, MaryKate invites us into a richer understanding of what it means to walk alongside leaders in spiritually grounded, non-anxious ways.
Drawing on decades of experience in leadership formation, spiritual direction, and theological education, she unpacks the interior life of a leader — their loneliness, complexity, and deep longing to be seen beyond their roles. She challenges directors to cultivate a spacious, contemplative posture that affirms identity, offers discernment, and gently confronts power with humility and truth.
This 1 hour 45 minute seminar is rich with stories, insights, and practical guidance for spiritual directors seeking to deepen their effectiveness and compassion in working with leaders and ministers.
You will learn:
The spiritual and emotional terrain of leaders and ministers
How to offer safe, soul-centered accompaniment
The role of contemplative practices in leadership resilience
Ways to notice, reflect, and gently name themes around power and identity
Practical tools and postures for deeper listening and presence
