What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction creates space to pause and intentionally reflect on your own life and the presence of God as your unique life story unfolds.  

Specific instances that might bring someone to direction include: seasons of discernment; seeking increased self-awareness; desiring a deepening experience of prayer; wrestling with questions of faith; feeling hurt or disillusioned by the church but wanting a space to explore your own belief; issues around identity and how God sees you.

What Can I Expect in a Session?

Direction is held for one hour, typically once per month. Sessions begin with a time of silence and centering, often with a brief opening prayer or reading. As you are ready, you then begin by reflecting on your life recently – any themes, struggles, interactions or thoughts that you would like to explore as you seek to understand where the Spirit may be at work in your life. The director may ask clarifying or reflection questions, may offer an image, metaphor or Scripture passage to consider, or may reflect back what she is hearing or themes she picks up on. The time typically ends with silence and a brief prayer. As you get to know a director, the two of you determine what works well for you.

What Does Spiritual Direction Cost?
