What is spiritual direction?
“Nothing is quite so rewarding or so at the heart of what we are made for as the spiritual quest.”

greater authenticity, meaning, and purpose
more hope, generosity, and serenity
a greater acceptance of others and a readier spirit of forgiveness
less anxiousness and need for control
a deeper trust in your sacred story

a more perfect alignment with the devine
the fruits of the spirit—love, joy, peace,patience, kindness, generousity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal 5:22-23)
Spiritual Direction involves…
a commitment of time, usually one hour per month, in a private and quiet location or at home through video conference.
a willingness to allow the relationship with your director and the Holy One to unfold over time
a readiness to share your experiences of both joy and sorrow
opening yourself to the Spirit, whose gentle guidance moves in astonishing ways
