"God has lovingly graced me to experience His great love in CQAsia-SSD. I felt like God gently loving me, transforming my heart to be humble and gentle through the compassionate, patient and loving accompaniment of my mentors and mentoring group. The course is well organized with a contemplative rhythm. I so appreciate CQ's stance which is contemplative-evocative, enabling me to be a more contemplative person, more attentive to the presence of God in my life and in everything. I will always treasure in my heart the ecumenical experience I have lived with my beloved community of companions."

"God has lovingly graced me to experience His great love in CQ Asia-SSD. I felt like God gently loving me, transforming and forming my heart to be contemplative, humble and gentle through the compassionate, committed, patient and loving personal and group accompaniment of my beloved mentors and mentoring group. The course is well organized with a contemplative rhythm. I deeply appreciate the contemplative-evocative approach to Spiritual Direction and the integration of theory and praxis enabled me to be a more contemplative person, more attentive to the presence of God in my life and in everything. I will always treasure in my heart the ecumenical experience I have lived with my beloved community of companions."

"The CQ School of Spiritual Direction is such a rich venue where theory and praxis cohere tightly together within the context of a supportive community. My own experience was transformative and that would not have been possible without my mentoring group. I have been involved in several training programs in spiritual direction and I can confidently claim that my mentoring group experience is unique to CQ. There, hospitality and compassion are offered and the contemplative-evocative approach is modeled. Within that kind of environment one learns by osmosis."
