Some of the most powerful moments of my life have happened in spiritual direction.

Have you ever felt like you are on a spiritual journey, unsure of which way to turn or how to deepen your connection with God? 

You know where you want to go – closer to God, living a life of purpose and faith – but the path isn’t always clear. Perhaps life’s questions whisper in your ear: 

  • “Am I living according to my values?” 
  • “How can I deepen my connection with God?” 
  • “What does it mean to be a good person in today’s world?” 

Offering a warm and welcoming space to explore these questions that is where spiritual direction can be an illuminating guide to finding your answers, discerning which turn to take on your path of deepening your relationship with the divine.

Spiritual direction is not a lofty concept reserved for mystics or theologians. It’s a profound person-centered spiritual exploration, a sacred practice rooted in the Christian tradition, where you embark on a journey of self-discovery alongside a trusted companion: a spiritual director. 

Spiritual direction is an invitation to an ever-deepening intimacy, a tender dance with Christ – a three-part encounter between God, you, and the spiritual director.
