What Is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction is a quiet, confidential space where you can explore your inner life and your relationship with the Sacred—God, Spirit, or Mystery. It is not advice or problem-solving. It is a slow, contemplative listening that helps you notice where the Divine may already be moving in your life.
All are welcome: those with a strong faith, those who are spiritual but not religious, those who are questioning, and anyone drawn to deeper meaning.
Individual Spiritual Direction
Individual sessions are one-on-one conversations rooted in deep listening. My role is to help you discern where God may be present in your desires, struggles, and daily experiences.
This work often opens a connection to the Divine that can be hard to access on our own. People seek individual direction to:
Recognize God’s presence in daily life
Find clarity in times of transition or decision
Cultivate inner peace and spiritual grounding
Strengthen their capacity to listen for the Sacred
Group Spiritual Direction
Group spiritual direction gathers a small circle for shared contemplative listening. Participants support one another by witnessing, not fixing. The space is prayerful, spacious, and grounded in confidentiality.
As Alice Fryling shared:
“The purpose of group spiritual direction is to provide a place where individuals can experience what it means to be listened to and loved by others, so that they can learn to listen more attentively to God in their daily lives and to be used by God to spread God’s grace and love throughout the world.”
Is This for You?
Ask yourself:
Do you have a desire for God?
Are you willing to be present as others reflect on the Spirit in their lives?
Are you willing to hold the group in prayer?
If you answer yes, you are warmly invited.
Group Guidelines
To protect the sacredness of the space, groups commit to:
confidentiality
respectful, prayerful listening
no advice-giving or problem-solving
supporting one another with compassion
showing up consistently
