What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is a contemplative practice where we listening deeply to your life and the movement of Spirit. The experience is unique to each person. The topics you bring to the session guide the direction we take in the session. As a spiritual director, I accompany you in your growing relationship with the transcendent through deeply listening and offering reflective questions.

Why Spiritual Direction?

There are many reasons for seeking spiritual direction, such as a desire to listen more closely to God’s calling on your life, to explore new or different spiritual practices, to deepen your prayer life and to enter a period of discernment are few common reasons. If you want to explore meaning in your life, uncover your deepest truest self or to become more open to the presence and movement of the sacred in your life then spiritual direction may be for you.

Finding a Spiritual Director

A good resource for finding a spiritual director is through the recommendation of friends, coworkers, family and others you know. Other resources are the Spiritual Directors International searchable directory and directories offered by particular faith traditions, such as the Unitarian Universalist Spiritual Directors Network. It is important to find a spiritual director whom you feel comfortable with to share your sacred journey. Sometimes, it is helpful to have a spiritual director who shares some of the same type of life experiences as you.
