Spiritual Direction

What is Spiritual Direction?
In Spiritual Direction one believer accompanies another in the process of growing in intimacy with God. One-to-one conversation with a spiritual guide in an atmosphere of trust, leads a person into a deeper awareness of and appreciation for God's presence and movement in daily life.

Spiritual Direction is NOT a substitute for counselling, is not advise-giving, nor is it psychology.

Spiritual Direction is helping the directee to discern what the Holy Spirit is saying in his/her prayer life.

"I, the Lord, search the heart and examine the mind."
Jer.17:10. (NIV)

Who is Spiritual Direction for?
Anyone seeking …

… a helping hand
… a companion on the journey
… an attentive listener
… a discerning presence
… one to help you live a more fully human authentic life
… to deepen one's relationship with God.

The fee for spiritual direction is based on a sliding scale. The fee schedule and frequency of meetings is discussed and agreed upon at the first session.
