SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
Noticing the Transformative
Movement of God

In Spiritual Direction you have the opportunity to:

  • Explore your faith and beliefs.
  • Discern direction and call in your life.
  • Integrate your spiritual path with life events.
  • Deepen your spiritual disciplines.
  • Celebrate your spiritual growth.

What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction is a journey shared between God, the directee and the director. A person seeks spiritual direction often in response to the nudging of the Holy Spirit to make a difference, to satisfy a hunger for a deeper relationship with the Holy One or as a yearning to experience a richer meaning in life.

Spiritual Direction is about the deep human need to discover connections between life events, emotions, thoughts, and God. Over a period of time, as you notice and discern the movement of God, you may discover a transformation unfolding that results in a new sense of freedom, joy and compassionate love.

What is the role of your Spiritual Director?
Your Spiritual Director accompanies you on your journey as a compassionate, caring friend. She assists you in creating a deeper relationship with God. During a session, your director listens attentively, holds you in prayer, notices the movement of the Holy Spirit, reflects back to you what is said and offers suggestions for deepening your spiritual path.

What happens in a session?
You are accompanied by a Spiritual Director as you reflect deeply upon your daily life. As you respond to the nudging of the Spirit, you are encouraged to discover connections between God and life events, emotions, and thoughts. Over a period of time, as you discern the movement of God in your life, you may discover a transformation unfolding that results in a new sense of freedom and clarity.

Testimonials

“Being in Spiritual Direction with Elaine has been a gift both to my ministry and to my daily living. Her insights and her ability to engage in holy listening have helped me better integrate these two aspects of my life!” The Rev. Jana Deiss, Lutheran Pastor, 2006

“The guidance in Spiritual Direction in a small-group situation has been a rich and supportive experience. My spirit is brighter as I’ve been able to notice God’s presence more each day. I am more trusting of outcomes. Elaine is a gifted listener and is able to discern the Divine in what appears (to me) as disorder. Silence and stillness shared is healing and powerful!” Spiritual Directee, 2005
