Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction and Spiritual Coaching is helpful when your interior life is changing and you begin asking deep, insightful questions.

What is my purpose in Life?

How can I deepen my relationship with God? Why do I feel abandoned by God in my time of trials? How can I serve God and others more deeply. Sometimes it is a simple calling from within to go deeper, to connect with a part of yourself that is just awakening.

Wherever you are finding yourself, these sessions are perfect for those who already have a form of spiritual practice, or a desire to create one. I am a spiritual companian, spiritual director and Spiritual Life Coach and our work together is about discovering what God is doing in your life, nurturing that connection, while seeking to live deep, authentic, spiritual lives.

My own spiritual practice is a what centers and guides me. Through my own trials I needed to discover who I was in relation to God and how that fit into the life I was living. I needed to nurture my spiritual side and develop a practice that would become the heart and soul of who I am. I needed to open up to my own unique purpose in life, my relationship to God, my soul's longing.

I will provide a safe place for you to explore faith, spirituality, meaning and purpose and to allow your relationship with God to grow. I will help you to deepen your own personal spiritual practice and discover your life's purpose.

I will honor your process of discovery whether your faith is rooted in Christianity, in another faith tradition, or no tradition at all. Side by side with Spirit, we will follow your hearts longing.

What is Spiritual Coaching

Spiritual coaching is about exploring and questioning the meaning and purpose of life with a companian who will help you focus your questions, deepen your spiritual life and integrate your spirituality in such a way as to live life fully and authentically.

As your Spiritual Coach or Director I will help you wrestle with your questions, seek answers and set goals. The questions I ask will challenge you to take risks along your path. You will acquire tools to accompany you as you gain different perspectives on your personal journey. I will help you to develop practices that will deepen your spirituality and live your life to the fullest. I will help you to create balance, fulness and discover your unique purpose in life.

What is Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction is companioning someone in attending to God's presence and movement in their life and vocational calling. It is a holy listening, a spiritual friendship, and a sacred journeying to realize a person's innermost truth and soul's freedom.

It is a process that witnesses and honors this sacred mystery, and reflects it back in word, prayer, thought, presence and action.

As your Spiritual Director I accompany you on your spiritual journey. This allows time for you to share your reflections with a compassionate fellow traveler. Your journey is unique and so my role is to listen and be with you, access my own spiritual insight, and offer gentle guidance, resources and practices that might be helpful to explore and reflect upon.

As your Coach/Spiritual Director I am committed to helping you discover your deepest passions and biggest dreams and guiding you along the path of your destiny.

During our time together you will reflect on and share your spiritual life. I will ask gentle discerning questions and there will be time for quiet reflection, meditation and prayer.

Why seek Spiritual Direction?

To reflect on your relationship with Spirit/God and your day to day life.

To navigate a difficult time or situation in your life with more ease, grace and equanimity.

To connect with your own unique life mission and purpose.

To slow down and refocus your life, values and priorities.

To answer an inner calling to explore and know God more deeply.

To awaken to your own inner call to live a spiritual life - and to discover what that means to you.

To develop and deepen your personal relationship with God, as you experience Spirit move in your life.

Together, we shall create a sacred space for you to discover the God that is within. We will invite Spirit to join us and guide us in conversation and enjoy the grace that flows from this loving presence.
