Spiritual Direction

In our hectic, fast-paced lives, we tend to keep running, just to keep up with our overwhelming responsibilities. All that we attempt to fit into our days, can leave us little, if any time to "reflect" on this life of ours. We can come to find ourselves exhausted physically, emotionally and... spiritually we may feel as if we are in desert...dry, listless and most of all...alone.

Spiritual Direction offers an opportunity to stop, sit, and reflect with an individual trained to "listen" and "discern" God's presence. With a spiritual director, together you can begin to see where and how God is alive in your life...you may just have been too busy to notice.

Spiritual Direction, however, is not therapy, counseling or coaching, though these modalities may of course happen concurrently. It is primarily a journeying with a trained guide, walking "with you" along your spiritual path.

Spiritual Direction sessions are usually an hour in length; focus on the current or most pressing issues affecting you; and can be scheduled once a week, once or twice a month, or whatever time period you and your spiritual director agree to meet.

To 'listen' to another's soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery, may be almost the greatest service that any human being ever performs for another.

Think and pray about what you want from a spiritual director. If you're not sure, call or schedule an informational interview where you can ask questions and listen to God help you discern which spiritual director might be a friend in God, a friend of the heart and a person you might allow into the space you share with God.

Appointments are scheduled Tuesday through Thursday. The fee is $75/hour; sliding scale fees are available based upon need. However, inability to pay should not keep anyone from seeking Spiritual Direction. Ask about the sliding scale, financial assistance, or scholarship arrangements available to you.

If there is a growing desire or longing in you to reflect, discern, and become more aware of experiencing the presence of God in your life, Spiritual Direction may be the "hunger" you are feeling.

Come, rest awhile, and discover the God within who has been longing for YOU all along.
