Spiritual Direction
🌿 An Introduction to Spiritual Direction
📖 What Is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction is a sacred practice of accompanying individuals on their spiritual journey. It is not counseling or therapy, but a prayerful conversation rooted in reflection, discernment, and deep listening. The goal is to help people become more aware of God’s presence, power, and purpose in their lives, and to respond with faith, authenticity, and freedom.
🤝 The Role of a Spiritual Director
A spiritual director is a trained companion who:
• Listens without judgment
• Asks thoughtful, Spirit-led questions
• Encourages awareness of God’s presence, power, and purpose
• Holds space for prayer, silence, and discernment
• Honors confidentiality and mutual respect
Spiritual directors are certified professionals with training and experience in this ministry, having received extensive formation and training in spiritual direction.
🌱 Who Is It For?
Spiritual direction is for anyone seeking:
• A deeper relationship with God
• Clarity during times of transition or decision-making
• Support in spiritual dryness or restlessness
• Integration of faith into daily life, work, relationships, and vocation
Sessions typically occur once a month and last about an hour.
🛐 Retreats
Retreats can be an important part of the spiritual direction experience. These retreats provide a guided path for reflection, renewal, and deeper spiritual engagement.
🎯 Goals of Spiritual Direction
• Reflect on and name experiences with God
• Discover God’s presence in daily life
• Make prayerful, discerning choices
• Integrate spirituality into all aspects of life
• Receive encouragement and affirmation in spiritual growth and maturity
• Deepen relationship with God, self, others, and Creation
💲 Cost & Accessibility
Spiritual direction sessions are free but you can donate to honor the time and effort that the spiritual director offers, depending on your ability to give. The emphasis is on soul care, not financial obligation.
