Minimum of 30 hours online with a trainer in 20 Sessions (running 1.5 hours per Session). Homework averages about 30 hours over the course of the program. And, apprentices must complete 12 spiritual direction sessions for supervision.

Meetings are online via Zoom. The apprentice and trainer determine the days, time and frequency of sessions.

The program’s price is based on an $100 per hour rate. Total for individual sessions is $3000, which may be paid in total or you  may set up a payment plan with your trainer.

All payments go directly to the trainer you have chosen. We ask that as soon as you have been  accepted and decide you want to be part of the program that you pay a $300 deposit to your trainer which will count toward your first payment. Payments are made to your trainer via bank to bank transfer through Zelle.

We have a requirement that an apprentice be in spiritual direction, meeting monthly, for at least one year. You will need a reference from your spiritual director to apply. Then, 

Step One: Email  teresa@teresablythe.net if you have questions about the program that this web page does not answer. 

Step Two: If you want to apply, click the links to download the application and reference forms. Please note that filing an application and getting a reference from your spiritual director does not automatically enroll you in the program. There are a few more steps.

Step Three: You may choose which one of the trainers you want to work with (see bios). One may have more openings than another so if you want “first available,” let us know. Make a phone or Zoom appointment with Teresa first to talk about the program and see if it is a good fit for you and the trainer. If working with someone other than Teresa, you will make an appointment with them as well. They will let you know if you are accepted into the program.

Step Four: Once accepted, if you want to commit to being an apprentice, you must pay a $300 deposit to the trainer you have chosen. That will be counted toward your first installment or the total (if you pay in one payment). This deposit gets you on the list for the next available opening (or you may defer beyond that date.) 

Step Five: Shortly before your start date, you will be officially enrolled so you can get on our Thinkific learning platform and begin receiving our newsletter.

Step Six: Begin on your appointed start date!
