Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is an ancient practice designed to help you explore your sacred story with a person who is trained to listen attentively and confidentially. A director will sit alongside you in times of celebration, challenge, and in the ordinary moments of day-to-day life, carefully listening as you explore your relationship with God. Spiritual directors are not crisis managers or therapists, nor do they give advice, but are quiet companions on your faith journey. To find out more about spiritual direction or to schedule a time with one of our directors, please email our coordinator with the link below.
