"Spiritual direction is a process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others."-Robert Mulholland
All of us long for a more conscious experience of God's presence and love. Each of us has a sacred story unfolding and inviting our attention. Spiritual direction provides a space to notice, reflect, discern, and discover where God is present and active in our lives. Each season of life offers its unique challenges and opportunites: loss of loved ones, health concerns, diminishment due to aging. Reflecting on these with a trained spiritual director whose only desire is that you hear God answer your questions can be refreshing and comforting. This ministry has been called a Holy Conversation or prayer time between three persons-the director or companion, the directee, and the Holy Spirit. God's spirit is ultimately the sole source of spiritual guidance, comfort, and knowing. Spiritual direction is an opportunity to step away and allow God the space to minister to you in the way only God knows is best for you. It can be good medicine for the soul.
