On November 12, the Carmelite Centre d'études d'histoire de la spiritualité (CEHS) in Nantes organized the second seminar, in a series of formative talks on Carmelite Spirituality, conducted by Frère Martin de la Croix, O.Carm.

The seminar was entitled Françoise d’Amboise: Actualisation d'une sainte chef d'état et modèle de la vie religieuse. Frère Martin presented the history of a hagiographical representation of the Saintly Duchess, to engage the audience into an exercise of actualization of the person for today. As model for this actualization exercise, Frère Martin took the model and approach of Léon de Saint-Jean in the writing of the first ever biography of Blessed Françoise d'Amboise in 1630.

The upcoming events in the program of the conferences CEHS, Parcours "La Source du Carmel" Découvrir la Spiritualité Carmélitaine include conferences on the Rule of Carmel, the Prophet Elijah, John of Saint Samson and Titus Brandsma.
