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.
