A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Sergio Milandri, born in Italy in 1950, came to South Africa at the age of four. As an immigrant he experienced prejudice in a culture that had little tolerance for foreigners. This resulted in his befriending people more on the fringes of society. His desire to protect the vulnerable has motivated his work among the relationally wounded. In 1987 Sergio left Civil Engineering to pursue his interest in spirituality and relational formation.He became a spiritual director, joining Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s team set up to support those dealing with stress and conflict. Here he did developmental work in relationship spirituality, contemplative living and meditation. In 1995 Sergio and his wife, Elizabeth, sailed westward from Cape Town with their five children. Along the way Sergio continued to run courses on Spirituality. While in the United States, he completed his Masters Degree, focusing on The Formation of Personhood, and exploring the interaction between spirituality and conflict. Since returning to South Africa in 2000 Sergio has continued to develop and conduct practical spirituality courses at retreat centres, colleges and addiction clinics. He and his wife established the ‘Sans Pareil’ Retreat Centre on their property in Hout Bay, Cape Town. As an activist in relationship spirituality for over twenty years, Sergio has done considerable work in male and female spirituality. He is passionate about restoring integrity, dignity and fulfillment to both men and women. For more information on Sergio’s material and courses, go to www.relating.com
