Spiritual direction is a sacred, one-on-one companionship centered on noticing God’s presence in your life. Each session offers space to slow down, listen deeply, and reflect on your experiences, questions, and desires in a spirit of prayer and trust.

What to Expect in a Session​

​

Each spiritual direction session is rooted in prayerful attentiveness and trust. Together, we create a space that is:

​

  • Confidential and respectful — grounded in mutual agreement and care

  • Prayerful — beginning with silence (Statio) and an opening prayer

  • Attentive — listening for the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life

  • Reflective — exploring your story, your prayer life, and your spiritual journey

  • Hospitable — marked by presence, humility, and deep listening “with the ear of the heart”

​

Spiritual direction is not therapy, counseling, or problem-solving. Rather, it is a sacred conversation that helps you recognize and respond to God’s presence.

Your First Meeting

This session is about simply beginning the conversation. During our time together, we will:

​

  • Take time to get to know you and what brings you here

  • Reflect on the invitation that led you to say “yes” to spiritual direction

  • Discern, together, whether this is a good fit moving forward

Ongoing Sessions

Spiritual direction is an ongoing rhythm of returning and listening. In our continued sessions:

​

  • We gently “break open” the story of your life, past and present

  • We hold space for your hopes, questions, and spiritual longings

  • We practice honesty, openness, and      intentional pause

Take The Next Step

If you feel drawn to begin, you are warmly invited to schedule an initial conversation. This first meeting is a gentle space to share your story, ask questions, and discern whether this is the right next step for you.
