Spiritual direction, sometimes referred to as spiritual guidance or spiritual friendship, explores a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human.
The primary focus of spiritual direction is a person’s relationship with God as it is reflected and challenged by all aspects of that person’s life.
Spiritual direction encourages you to experience a closer relationship with God. You might come to spiritual direction for a variety of reasons, including to:
- Identify and trust your own experience of God
- Deepen and expand your prayer and attentiveness to interior spiritual movements
- Integrate spirituality into your daily life
- Discern and make choices
- Grow in relationship with God, self , others and creation
Usually sessions are once a month for an hour. The suggested offering is $25-$40 per session. If you are interested in exploring this with one of our qualified directors please call our office at 393-4169 to begin the conversation.
