Spiritual Direction
A practice of holy listening, prayerful reflection, and spiritual companionship.
Spiritual direction creates space to slow down, pay attention to your spiritual life, and become more aware of God’s presence in everyday experiences.
Whether you are seeking clarity, navigating change, deepening your prayer life, or simply longing for a place to reflect, spiritual direction offers compassionate accompaniment for the journey.
What Is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction is a sacred conversation centered on your relationship with God. Together, we create a space for prayer, reflection, and deep listening so you can become more aware of God's presence in your life.
Rather than offering advice or easy answers, spiritual direction invites you to pause, notice, and discern how God may be inviting you to grow, heal, and move forward with greater freedom and peace.
"Whoever wants to stand alone without the support of a master and guide will be like the tree that stands alone in a field without a proprietor. No matter how much the tree bears, passers-by will pick the fruit before it ripens.”
— St. John of the Cross, Sayings, 5
Why Work With a Spiritual Director?
It can be difficult to recognize what is happening within us when we are carrying questions alone. A spiritual director offers a consistent, prayerful space where you can slow down, speak honestly, and pay closer attention to your spiritual life.
Through deep listening, thoughtful questions, silence, and prayer, a spiritual director helps you notice patterns, explore what may be stirring, and discern how God may be present.
The spiritual director does not make decisions for you. Instead, they accompany you as you listen more deeply for God’s movement within your own life.
Life Transitions
Career changes, retirement, relationships, grief, parenthood, or new beginnings.
Why People Seek Spiritual Direction
People come to spiritual direction for many different reasons. You don't need to have everything figured out to begin, only a desire to slow down, reflect, and remain open to God's presence.
Discernment
Seeking clarity around decisions, vocation, purpose, or the next faithful step.
Deepening Your Faith
Creating space for prayer, reflection, and a more intentional relationship with God.
Spiritual Dryness
When prayer feels distant, life feels overwhelming, or you're searching for renewed hope.
What Happens In A Session?
Spiritual direction is a prayerful relationship centered on your experience of God.
Sessions typically last approximately 60 minutes and may include silence or prayer, conversation about what has been happening in your life, reflection on your prayer and spiritual experiences, noticing movements of consolation, resistance or longing, and questions that invite deeper discernment.
There is no agenda you need to prepare.
You simply bring your life as it is.
Together, we listen.
What Spiritual Direction Is and Is Not
Spiritual direction is focused on your spiritual life and your awareness of God’s presence. It is not therapy, counseling, life coaching, or religious instruction.
Therapy may focus on mental health, emotional healing, or specific psychological concerns. Coaching is generally centered on goals, strategies, and measurable progress. Spiritual direction creates space to listen, reflect, pray, and discern.
These practices can complement one another, but spiritual direction does not replace professional mental-health care when it is needed.
