What is Spiritual Direction
In spiritual direction, or spiritual accompaniment, we are invited to explore the question, How do I live a spiritual and meaningful life in a world full of distractions and ambiguity?
As a spiritual director I practice deep listening. I invite clients to reflect upon how the Spirit is present in their lives. Together we might explore how to begin or deepen contemplative prayer practices, how to navigate one’s way through life changes and transitions, and how we might tap into inner sources of wisdom. Many folks who come to spiritual direction seek a deeper awareness of God in their lives and how that awareness can help in healing from past hurts. Others desire someone to accompany them as they discern God’s will as they make important life decisions. In all cases I believe that in spiritual direction we strive to become more free through awareness of God’s Spirit presence in our lives.
Here is an interview where I discuss in more detail what spiritual direction is.
