Spiritual Direction is ‘listening to the other’ and ‘enabling’ them by empathetic hearing and provocative questions to recognise God in the ordinariness of their lives including their work, leisure, dreams, daydreams and conversations.

I love Eugene Peterson's description of a spiritual director as
'someone who will show up, and shut up - just to be there, an honest, prayerful presence with no responsibility to be anything other than what you have become in your obedient lifetime'.
I am probably better at showing up, than in shutting up, but I do seek to be the prayerful presence that listens with attention and intention to God, and the other, and find - in our conversation - that God is indeed at work.

Spiritual Direction sessions are held tenderly in God. The session is about you and God. I'm there to listen carefully to you and stay tuned to the Holy Spirit. I offer confidentiality, privacy in a safe welcoming space. As you talk about your everyday life experiences - your highs and lows, your relationships, your work, your decisions - I will accompany you as you notice, reflect, explore, question and engage with God.
To assist you to move from head to heart and grow in self-awareness and intimacy with God, I can offer interactive drawing therapy, focusing, dream work, imaginative use of scripture, different types of prayer, music, poetry, finding God in nature.
This is both a joy and privilege for me as I accompany another on their spiritual journey.

Spiritual direction for me is a conversation about "God in the midst".
That might be about what is or isn't happening in your prayer. It might be about what is happening around you, in family, with friends, the world and discerning God's invitation to you within that. It might be about your own hopes, desires, disappointments, struggles and where God is for you within those.
I seek to provide a relaxed, gentle listening space for you to explore what is going on for you and to see where God is for you within that.
