Discover a deeper relationship with your Sacred Source.

What is Spiritual Direction?​

Spiritual direction is a conversation aimed at deepening your spiritual awareness and relationship with God. It is an experience of sacred and deep listening that helps individuals grow in their spiritual life through silence, discernment, awareness, and inquiry. Spiritual direction helps cultivate a deeper relationship with God through greater mindfulness, to notice the presence of God in the various events, relationships and structure of one’s life. The director, as a companion, listens and is attentive to the spiritual life and journey of the directee.

​

We all have different names we use for the Divine, that Creator Source, that indwelling Spirit, and anyone can benefit from spiritual direction regardless of their level of faith or their religion, if they have one. I have worked with folks who were agnostic, borderline atheists, recovering Catholics and others from a variety of faith traditions. Spiritual direction is about our innate curiosity to to explore that "something more." All are welcome to explore their journey through this practice of spiritual direction, also called spiritual companioning. Directors are companions on the journey. 

​

We begin with an initial conversation to answer questions, and talk over expectation. After a first session, it is good to reflect on the experience to discern if you'd like to meet again on a regular basis. We typically meet monthly, although that may vary for each person depending on what is going on in their life. The relationship of spiritual direction is sacred, safe and strictly confidential. It is not therapy.

Sessions are about an hour long, and are available by appointment in person at my location on the  Connecticut shoreline and online.
