Spiritual Direction
Sometimes life gives us questions we can’t answer alone. Spiritual direction offers an unhurried space to talk, listen, and notice how the Divine might be moving in your life. You don’t have to arrive with the “right” words — we’ll discover them together.
Here, there is no rush, no agenda — only space to notice, wonder, and respond to what is unfolding in your life.
Spiritual Direction Is...
A relationship where the “director” supports the “directee” through conversation and spiritual practices to:
-
Discover what the Divine One has for them in life
-
Become open to that presence and guidance
-
Remain open over time
In plain language: you talk with me about what’s going on in your life, and together we spend time in conversation and prayer to notice where and how the Divine is at work — and to explore ways of responding.
This can be:
-
A one‑time meeting
-
A series of meetings over a set period
-
Ongoing meetings without a fixed end date
Spiritual Direction Is Not...
-
One person directing the life of another
-
Therapy, counselling, or life coaching
-
A self‑improvement program
Spiritual Direction in Groups
Spiritual direction can also happen in groups. While I don’t form groups myself, I’m glad to serve as a facilitator for your group — whether for:
-
Discernment through deep listening
-
Peer supervision for spiritual directors
-
Small groups who want to do ongoing spiritual direction together
Group spiritual direction offers a double blessing: first in having our own story received in love and again in the holy privilege of witnessing the stories of others. If your group would like to explore this practice, let's talk about what it might look like for you.
Alone or with others, you will find a welcome shaped by tenderness and care.
Reasons You Might Seek Spiritual Direction
You might find spiritual direction helpful if:
-
You’re facing an important decision and want to discern with another person
-
You’re navigating a change or transition
-
You’re in ministry and need to speak with someone outside your circles
-
Your ministry feels more burdensome than life‑giving
-
You’ve experienced a loss
-
You want to grow in prayer and love for others
-
You’re sensing the Divine in a new way — or feeling the loss of a previous sense
-
You want to speak with someone outside your family, friends, and colleagues
-
You feel distant from the Divine One or long to feel closer
-
You can’t name why, but you sense this is something for you right now
Getting Started
If you’re interested in meeting, we’ll set up a time for a conversation of up to 45 minutes — at no cost. This is simply a chance for us to meet, talk, and get a feel for what it might be like to work together. You’re welcome to take time afterward to reflect before deciding if you’d like to go forward together.
Contact me if you’re interested in starting spiritual direction, or book online to set up our first conversation.
