The "Period of Spiritual Training" can take place in two different ways:
with the candidate living permanently in a group of the community
or
externally, with obligatory block times of living in a group of the community.
This period is about becoming familiar with the life and charism of the community.
The different ways of doing it are intended to take into account a possible current employment of the candidate's.
The age limit for the period of formation is 18-35 years. Physical and mental health are obligatory.
The "Period of Spiritual Training" is preceded by a time of getting to know the community and first contacts with individual members and/or groups and/or the centre of the community.
