It *appears* that this "spiritual formation" is along the gnostic lines promoted by Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, and the emergent crowd. I would urge careful examination before pursuing this.

As to other evangelical seminaries, I believe Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids has some "spiritual formation" classes, but likewise I would urge discernment before stepping onto that campus.

For a Reformed/Puritan training in spiritual formation, check out Puritan Reformed Seminary in Grand Rapids, headed up by Joel Beeke.
