What is Spiritual Direction?

My approach to spiritual direction has a strong contemplative influence, which means that I will encourage you to do a lot of listening, paying attention, and being present to God in the normal and everyday events of your life. My hope is that through each conversation you will be able to see more clearly God in God, God in you, God in others, and God in your world. I believe that there is no time without God, no place without God, and no space without God. So most of our effort to encounter God is done as we learn to pay attention. My task during a Direction conversation is one of companionship and holder of a safe and open space.

​

I have also been coaching in Spiritual Formation and teaching Enneagram classes for several years.  While these areas have some natural overlap with Spiritual Direction, you and I will proceed in a mutually agreed upon format.  Spiritual Direction is almost entirely a journey of companionship and walking together.

Don’t hesitate to schedule an initial conversation - together we'll discern the best way to move forward.
