Spiritual Direction

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is about pausing to pay attention to what matters most in life, in the presence of another. It’s taking time to cultivate your relationship with the sources of life, joy, and meaning as you know them, in the presence of a human who will witness, encourage, and challenge you along the way.

Spiritual Direction is practiced in all spiritual traditions under different names and with different emphasis. If you’re interested in these different practices, my friend Gail has a great presentation on “Spirit Care”!

Having a spiritual director, spirit friend, soul friend, anam cara, Kalyāṇa-mittatā, etc. — a spiritual witness — allows me to explore, express, and dwell with what matters most in ways that I cannot do alone. The presence of another breaks habitual patterns and creates an opportunity to re-direct my attention and energy.

I would be happy to be your spiritual witness, so you can better follow the direction of what guides you.

I’m currently enrolled in the Spiritual Direction Certification program with Cherry Hill Seminary. During the second year of the program we work with three people, for free, as a practicum. Learn more about me and this website on the about page.

If you’re curious about meeting with me for an hour once a month for twelve months as your spiritual witness in spiritual direction, please fill out this initial contact form. I will get back to you as soon as I can to schedule a 20 minute online video conversation.
