The Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation™ is like the two-year Academy, but it consists of a single five-day session. The leadership team of Five Day Academies are chosen from alumni/ae of the two-year Academies. The faculty of the Five Day Academies are chosen from among the many outstanding spiritual leaders in seminaries, churches, and denominations in the United States.A Five Day Academy typically begins on Sunday evening and ends Friday noon. On the evening of the first day, there is a group dinner, a welcome and orientation, Covenant Group sessions, and a Eucharist celebration. Each day following includes Curriculum sessions, times for silent reflection, discussions with faculty, and Covenant Group meetings. There is also a nightly Eucharist Service, Morning Prayer, and Night Prayer.
Five Day Academies are offered each year in locations around the world. The cost varies according to the location. Upcoming Five Day Academies and contact persons are listed below in alphabetical order, by location.
