“If SDI has done nothing else, and it has done much…but help us to gather together in support of one another, that might have been enough.”

So says SDI Co-Founder Lucy Abbott Tucker, perennial teacher, leader and contributor to the SDI community, and keynote speaker at SDI’s 35th Anniversary Conference to be held in Niagara Falls, May 29th-31st, 2025, and online.

I published a short video of Lucy last week on our YouTube channel, with this being the full conversation we had.

SDI has much to be proud of over its 35-year history, and we look forward to celebrating all those achievements with you, even as we continue to explore areas where we need to keep striving and learning together. And that’s the key, as Lucy tells us: all of us who practice, are dedicated to, or interested in, spiritual direction and companionship can rely on one another for support, discernment, and encouragement

So, please join us for our annual gathering, whether in person, or online. And if cost is a concern, you can apply for a scholarship.
