Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction provides a companion and guide for the journey of spiritual growth. It is the goal of the Spiritual Director to help a person develop a closer relationship with God and to discern the invitations of the Holy Spirit.
What happens in Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction is really not about being “directed.” Rather, it is very much about being encouraged to draw closer to God. In spiritual direction, you reflect deeply on the experiences of your daily life. Gradually, as you contemplate, you may begin to recognize God’s presence and grace in your life. The director is a reverent listener offering questions and guidance as your spiritual journey unfolds. A session may include spoken and/or silent prayer, contemplative exercises, or Scripture reading. (adapted from Spiritual Director’s International)
