The Spiritual Direction Session
My style of spiritual direction is non-directive and contemplative. The session begins with a time of shared silence. Or, if you prefer, we may begin with a poem, prayer or reading at your request.
There are limitless possibilities to explore in spiritual direction. You may or may not know what you want to discuss before beginning. Perhaps you seek a deeper connection to God, meaning to events in your life, clarity around a decision affecting your life, or something else.
As a trained spiritual director, I will accompany you in this exploration. I will listen deeply to all that you are saying (or not saying) and assist you in noticing the movement of Spirit. I may ask open ended questions which are intended to help you go deeper. There is likely to be shared silence as we sit with, contemplate, and hold all that is on your heart.
Location
Individual sessions are one-hour in length and typically occur monthly. Sessions are on-line via Zoom, in-person in Antioch, TN, or by phone.
I will email the zoom link or the physical address the day before your scheduled session.
Scheduling
Sessions are available Monday through Thursday. Morning, afternoon, and evening times are available. A limited number of Friday and Saturday sessions are available.
Fee
The fee for an individual session is $75. I do not want the fee to be a barrier to you receiving spiritual direction, so please request the reduced rate if the fee is a challenge for you.

Confidentiality
Sharing your experiences and your spiritual life with another person is deeply sacred work. You, as a client, may share your experience of spiritual direction with anyone you wish. I, as Spiritual Director and clergy, am ethically bound to confidentiality. This means that what you share with me in your spiritual direction session stays between us. I adhere to the Code of Ethics For Spiritual Directors and the UUMA Guidelines for the Conduct of Ministry. Please be aware that there are some important limits to confidentiality:
Supervision
The purpose of supervision is to obtain feedback and improve my skills as a spiritual director. The focus in supervision is primarily on my activity within the session – what did I ask, say, feel and so forth. This information is used to help me to grow as a spiritual director. Supervision is also bound by confidentiality. No client names or specific identifying information is shared.
