Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is a one-on-one meeting between a director and a person seeking a deeper relationship with God. The focus is awareness of God in everyday life.

A spiritual director assists in:
• expressing struggles, pains, joys, and gratitude
• recognizing God's presence in everyday life and in prayer
• savoring and responding to one's experience of God
• discovering interior changes and the affects on relationships and life's journey
• moving toward greater inner freedom, joy and integration
• processing aspects of growth toward wholeness
