Spiritual Direction is a professional ministry in which a person is educated to accompany others in their growth in intimacy with God. It provides an opportunity to those who seek guidance, affirmation, and/or enrichment in their experience.

Spiritual Direction focuses on directees' experience of the Holy One in their life and prayer and the ways that God and directees communicate.  Life struggles may be discussed in Spiritual Direction sessions.  However, problem-solving is NOT the focus of Spiritual Direction. 

Each spiritual journey is a personal path and all are welcome.  Regular meetings with a Spiritual Director helps one to pay attention and become aware of God in self, others, events and all of life.

Many of us experience a time of transition in our lives.  It is a growing phenomenon that women and men in all walks of life are realizing the spiritual, mental and physical benefits of taking time out during these periods to seek a trained spiritual guide.
 
In the hectic climate of daily life that is so typical of today’s world, having another individual  with whom you can share your deepest concerns could be central to moving toward a deeper relationship with God, and a better sense of well-being which can spill out to others you know and love, such as, family, friends, co-workers, students, etc.
