Ways We Can Meet
There are different ways to create space for deeper listening, discernment, and awareness of God's presence. Whether through individual spiritual direction, shared discernment in community, or a retreat experience, each offering is grounded in prayerful listening, compassionate presence, and respect for your unique spiritual journey.
Prayer
We begin by inviting God's presence into our time together.

What Happens During a Session?
No preparation is required. Simply come as you are with whatever is on your heart.
Listening
Share your story in a welcoming, confidential space.
Reflection
Notice the movements, invitations, and questions emerging in your life.
Discernment
Together we listen for where God may be inviting you next.
Individual Spiritual Direction
Listen more deeply.
Â
Individual spiritual direction is a confidential, prayerful relationship centered on your experience of God.
​
Sessions typically last approximately 60 minutes and offer space for silence, prayer, conversation, reflection, and deeper discernment.
​
There is no agenda you need to prepare. You simply bring your life as it is.
Group Spiritual Direction
Discern in Community
Â
Group Spiritual Direction brings a small group together in a confidential, prayerful environment where participants listen deeply to God, to themselves, and to one another.
​
Rather than offering advice or trying to solve one another's problems, the group learns to listen contemplatively and notice where the Spirit may be moving.
​
Groups may be offered in person or virtually and can be organized around particular seasons, themes, or spiritual questions.
Retreats & Spiritual Experiences
Step Away. Listen. Return Renewed.
Â
Sometimes we need to step away from the pace and noise of everyday life to hear more clearly what is stirring within us.
​
Retreats provide intentional space for prayer, silence, reflection, spiritual conversation, and renewed awareness of God's presence.
​
Rooted in contemplative and Franciscan spirituality, retreat experiences may incorporate Scripture, guided reflection, journaling, nature, silence, spiritual direction, and contemplative practices.
Spiritual Direction Walks
Walk • Listen • Discern
Â
Spiritual Direction doesn't always have to take place sitting across from one another.
​
A Spiritual Direction Walk creates space for prayerful conversation while walking outdoors. Movement, creation, silence, and conversation can help us experience discernment differently and become more attentive to God's presence around and within us.
​
The simplicity of walking together reflects something deeply Franciscan: encountering God through creation, presence, and relationship.
