Spiritual Direction Services
Individual Spiritual Direction
Individual Spiritual Direction is a time for us to work one-on-one together. The rhythm of our time together includes periods of reflective silence combined with conversation as we explore your interior movements - thoughts, feelings, motivations, desires, resistances, etc. Together we discover God’s presence in your life. We would generally meet once a month for an hour in my home if you are local. Video conferencing is an option if you are long distance.
Group Spiritual Direction
In Group Spiritual Direction, a volunteer introduces something that he/she would like to process. The group members offer open-ended questions that explore the presenters interior movements. Together the group discerns the presence and activity of God in the situation presented. Its purpose is to help each member become more aware of God in their lives. Generally it consists of a small number of people (3-4), guided by a Spiritual Director. Options for location for Group Spiritual Direction can be discussed, as well as video conferencing.
Retreat Spiritual Direction
I am available to provide individual or group spiritual direction during your planned retreat. Often we attend retreats and find ourselves overwhelmed with the experience. As a Spiritual Director at your retreat, I will be available to help participants process and solidify their experience by listening to individuals articulate their thoughts and emotions. It helps them take the sometimes-vague experience and turn it into a transforming experience. We may also explore how, then, the person would like to respond.
Supervision of Spiritual Directors
It is recommended that Spiritual Directors participate in Peer or Individual Supervision. This practice fine-tunes your skills as a Spiritual Director and is a means of celebrating your strengths. In addition, these sessions help with the following:
Identify of God’s presence during a session.
Explore interior movements that cause distraction.
Gain insights on ways you relate to directees.
I offer individual sessions that last thirty to forty minutes. Sessions will be in my home or via a video conferencing platform
