Read full description

Conversatio Divina exists to help fan the flames of authentic transformation into Christlikeness that is at the heart of Dallas Willard’s writing and teaching. As part of Westmont College, our goal is to help establish the field of Christian spiritual formation as a discipline of public knowledge, through an enduring emphasis on the literary, historical and Christian heritage of Dallas Willard and others in the modern spiritual formation movement. The work of these authors and practitioners form a school of thought that emphasizes the possibility of–and path to–authentic spiritual and moral transformation. *Media Room* Contains a robust library of articles, talks, and interviews for your enrichment. The majority of the library as currently constructed is made up of content relating to Dallas Willard. However, we are adding to the repository on a regular basis voices of the early church, Ignatius of Loyola, and those of contemporary Christ-followers. *Exercise Room* Houses video meditations and guides for spiritual practices that find their roots in well-worn and tested Christian traditions. *Classroom* Houses talks and articles as contained series. The room also holds a conglomerate of lectures, expositions, spiritual exercises, and meditations as unique “classes.”
