This year in celebration of 20 inspiring years of Spiritual Ministries Institute we invite you to give generously to support our ongoing commitment to quality programming and to honor our founders and many other volunteers who have served to lead SMI over the past 20 years!
Spiritual Ministries Institute, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Dallas, Texas.
We aspire to nurture the ministry of spiritual direction by offering continuing education, contemplative care, and a peer community for spiritual directors.
For the broader community of spiritual seekers, we offer an annual series of four programs under the banner: “Spirituality for a Busy World.” These varied programs offer opportunities for spiritual growth while highlighting contemplative life and practices.
Our speaker-led programs, workshops, and retreats are typically held at local churches, retreat centers, and occasionally online.
Spiritual Ministries Institute values contemplative life which leads to compassionate action. We promote ways of life and practices which lead us into relationship with and into direct experiences of the Spirit. We seek to offer programs which enrich and challenge us, engaging us both intellectually and experientially.
