now available EXHALE: Gentle Invitations to Rest and Breathe in God’s Love
Some of your favorite EXHALE emails all in one place!
In spiritual direction, two persons pledge to listen together for God’s voice in one of their lives. Spiritual directors are trained and practiced in recognizing and reflecting the presence and work of God. The focus of a spiritual-direction relationship is your experience (or lack of experience) with God. The true “director” in this relationship is God. I am simply a gentle guide.
Spiritual direction presumes that God is at work and communicates through ordinary human experience. In that experience, we find God’s invitations, urgings and confirmations. I am a prayerful companion on life’s spiritual journey.
Why do most people come to spiritual direction?
Seeking God in the complexities of life
Finding the “old ways” of faith are no longer working
Growing in self and God awareness
Looking for a safe and confidential place to process life and decisions
Wanting to heal their image of God and self
Longing for greater intimacy
Spiritual direction has been called “holy listening.”
