Spiritual Direction

A sacred space to notice what God may already be doing.

Spiritual direction is a contemplative relationship centered on listening, discernment, prayer, and the movement of grace in ordinary life. It is less about receiving answers and more about learning to notice, trust, and respond.

“Contemplation is awareness filled with love.”

Presence

Slow down enough to notice your inner life, your relationships, and the sacred now.

Discernment

Listen for the movements of consolation, resistance, desire, fear, and grace without rushing to fix them.

Transformation

Let doing flow from being, so that work, relationships, service, and prayer emerge from a deeper center.

What it is

Companionship for the inner journey

Spiritual direction offers a confidential, prayerful place to explore your experience of God, questions of vocation and purpose, seasons of change, spiritual dryness, hope, grief, relationships, and the practices that help you remain grounded.

Contemplative listening rather than advice-giving
Attention to your lived experience, not just abstract ideas
Room for doubt, mystery, paradox, and honest questions
A Franciscan emphasis on humility, simplicity, relationship, creation, and love
Respect for ecumenical and interfaith perspectives

Spiritual direction is not psychotherapy, medical treatment, crisis counseling, or a substitute for licensed mental-health care.

If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental-health emergency, contact local emergency services or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States.

The process

Simple, human, unhurried

Tell me a little about what brings you here.
Use the confidential inquiry form below.

We begin with discernment.
Initial conversations are generally 30 minutes and focused on discernment, fit, and next steps.

If the relationship feels like a good fit, we decide together what comes next.
Frequency, format, expectations, and practical details are agreed before continuing.

A helpful question

What are you being invited to notice?

You do not need to arrive with a polished spiritual problem. You may simply know that something is shifting—or that you have become tired of living only from the surface of your life.

Fees and frequency are discussed during the initial conversation. No one should avoid spiritual direction solely because of cost.

I understand that spiritual direction is not therapy, medical care, or emergency mental-health care, and I consent to having this information stored for the purpose of responding to my inquiry.

Your information is used only to respond to this inquiry and manage the spiritual-direction relationship.

Peace and goodness.

You do not need to have the next chapter figured out before you begin. Sometimes the first faithful act is simply to become quiet enough to hear what is asking for your attention.
