What can I expect from spiritual direction?

  • No judgment or agenda — just a welcoming presence who is there to help you discover the "life in your life."
  • Someone who will listen attentively and reflect back the presence of God you are experiencing and discovering.
  • Reverence and respect for the spiritual movements in your life, in the context of your religious background or belief system.
  • Confidentiality — everything you share in spiritual direction is held in confidence.
  • Encouragement and Hope to gently nudge you toward the wisdom and love God is already pouring into your life.
  • Freedom to discover your deepest desire and move toward freedom from all that distracts from that desire.
  • Meaningful Connection to yourself, God, and others, to respond to the movements of your heart and make choices in line with your truest self.
  • Support — noticing God's action in your life, and finding valuable inner peace during difficult times.
