For me spiritual direction is :
helping someone notice and respond to the work of Love, of grace, in their lives.
sitting with someone as they explore who 'God' might or might not be for them
witnessing someone's struggle and being a non-judgmental companion
supporting someone as they negotiate their relationship with institutional religion
walking alongside a person as he or she discovers more of who they are and who the divine is
being amazed by the movement of the Holy Spirit in a person's life ...

My approach to spiritual direction is inclusive. I offer a welcoming safe space for anyone wanting to explore their spiritual life, whatever their background, circumstances and perspective. I find art, nature, poetry, music, etc, to be effective facilitators enabling directees to form a deeper communication and relationship with the sacred. I have a heart for those who wonder where they belong and who are facing major life transitions.
I am based in the Wairarapa / Greater Wellington. I am available to run retreats, contemplation and meditation days.

It has always been a delight and a privilege for me to accompany people in walking their personal
faith journey – which may or may not be within a church context. I believe spirituality is intrinsic to our humanity, and is grounded in our very nature of human being-ness and meaning-making.
I see my primary role as providing a safe space for a person to reflect on their life and explore their inner calling, along with the sharing of Christianity’s long and varied traditions of the many paths into the Divine. I believe, with St Thomas Aquinas, that Nature is God’s first Bible, and I personally know Nature’s power to heal, to teach, to reveal…

I care about people finding the way to a deeper connection with the God who loves us, but the how and even the desire is often not clear, and life can be complicated. We need a place to pause and reflect in the presence of another. I see spiritual direction as an opportunity to untangle life and our longings in the presence of a companion who is seeking to listen deeply both to the person, and for what might be the nudges and invitations of God in their journey. It can be a place of discovery and fresh insight in the ‘ordinariness’ of life, often coming through quietness or creative means, available to anyone whatever their age or stage.

I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and expansive space: to explore and ask questions; connect faith with your daily life (and vice versa); and deepen your relationship with God (the animating force of the universe, Source of Life and Love, and whatever reference you use). Open to gender inclusive God-concepts and language. Open to everyone regardless of church affiliation (or none).
I somewhat liken a spiritual director to a spiritual ‘life coach’: we help people explore and develop a meaningful spirituality or faith in the context of their life. Our time together is usually an hour once a month and is self-directed (what you do and don’t share and explore is up to you). My primary role is to listen and reflect back in helpful - and non-judgemental - ways.

I love to accompanying people as we listen to God’s movement together. Spiritual direction for me is to make space for God connection. You are free to bring whatever you would like to bring and we listen together for God’s movement. Your connection with God and how we might make space to grow that is at the centre of my practice. Sometimes to explore or to deepen our experience we may play with drawings, collage or clay, but only if you are up for it!
Other spaces for prayer I offer are quiet days, retreats and prayer spaces. See my website for more information.
I also am passionate about bringing the contemplative prayer to young people.

I welcome all people in their beautiful diversity of faith, sexuality, age, ethnicity and gender. And I'll be led by what you're bringing to the sacred space. We co-listen to the Spirit together. It's important to me that dignity of everyone is upheld, we all have stories, sometimes messy, sometimes confusing and we all still bear God's image. We can forget this in the midst of the hard stuff, so lets try to remember again together.

Quiet Space Spiritual Direction - I offer a safe and confidential space for you to come as you are, pause in the midst of the busyness of life and explore...reflect...wonder about yourself, about God, about everything and anything, really. As a spiritual director, my role is to facilitate this space, believing that God speaks in infinite ways - we need only be still.

offer a contemplative approach to Spiritual Direction to men and women from all walks of life. This approach involves above all a spiritual companionship that is characterized by a deep reflective listening with an individual who wants to explore their relationship with God in a safe, secure and sacred environment. My task as spiritual director is to help a person hear their own unique spiritual story in a new light and offer ways of noticing and responding to the activity of God in their life. Through the spiritual process my deepest desire for individuals is that they will grow in their knowledge of God and themselves which will in turn help them fall more deeply in love with God. Life then, becomes all the more meaningful and richer in every way as a result.

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.

Sometimes, we feel like we have hit a brick wall spiritually. Other times one's reality and theology no longer match, and we know something might need to shift; we might need to unlearn, let go, and learn anew. Perhaps these moments are holy invitations – invitations out of something, or invitations into something.
Perhaps part of that invitation is to seek out a spiritual director who will hold space, listen well to your story, notice, and wonder alongside, helping you to recognise and lean into the presence of God within you. Holding such spaces within spiritual direction brings insight and the potential for freedom. It is my pleasure to do so alongside my directees.

I am a Mother, Friend, Spiritual director, Spa therapist and Retreat facilitator.
I love all things centred in the Divine, that are simple, nourishing and inclusive.
Here at Seasons Soulcare we are about living a soulful and intentional life.
By slowing down and turning inward towards our heart and indwelling wisdom (God, Sophia the Divine ..) we can hear the places that need attention, healing, more joy, more softening and love.

Spiritual direction has been hugely formative for me, and I feel privileged to be able to offer it to others. I provide a warm and relaxed space marked by respect and perceptive listening. My prayer is that I can help someone to open to the Infinite Love that indwells us all, and to find unique responses to that Love. I might use scripture and other wisdom writing, images, poetry, silence, creative expression, movement and drawing.

Every spiritual-life journey is unique, and no two people encounter God the same way. I love listening to the thoughts, feelings, spiritual experiences, joy, disappointment or deep longing that resides within someone seeking to know God. I am always aware that when someone speaks about their relationship with God, they are in fact speaking to God, not just to me. God listens. That makes spiritual direction a bit like prayer. Sometimes God even responds! My commitment to everyone who sees me for spiritual direction is that I will listen to them, and with them to God. A number of people who see me work in vocational Christian ministry or the charity sector. I have experience in providing ministry supervision in addition to, or alongside, spiritual direction. I am particularly interested in the intersection of spirituality and vocational ministry, though I enjoy working with anyone wanting to deepen their awareness of God's presence in their life.

I encourage the stillness that’s needed for presence and encounter with the Holy Spirit. My desire is that spiritual direction would also result in the living out of a deepening relationship with Jesus, ultimately bringing blessing to others. Conversations are confidential, offering grace not judgement. I welcome an initial informal chat before engaging in regular meetings.

As a spiritual director, it is my privilege to companion people as they reflect on the spiritual dimension of their lives.
The primary relationship in the room is between you and God, One-ness, Love, or whatever your language for the transcendent is. I desire to serve that relationship through deep listening, open questions and creative enquiry. I won’t tell you what to think or believe. Rather we look and listen together for the ‘sound of the genuine’ within your own soul and the holy invitations that are present in the midst of your ordinary life.

I love to accompany fellow-pilgrims, to hold sacred space, and encourage in-depth conversations that lead to the Holy and find Christ in the midst. I am intrigued by both Ignatian and contemplative approaches to prayer, and liturgical rhythms sustain my spirit.
Amongst those I have accompanied are pilgrims who are of varied ethnicities, gender-diverse, or busy and stretched, those in transition or discernment processes, many who are leaders in faith communities, and some who are deconstructing or losing their faith. Together we seek the gentle, generous and joyous, the creative, curious and kind – the Mystery.

For me the space when I’m together with another is a place of warmth and hospitality. A place where everything on life’s journey can be brought into the light and love of the Trinity. A place where a person can speak and be heard and respect is given to the sacredness within us. To refrain from offering interpretations and to remain curious and adopt a not-knowing position is important for me. To trust that there is something to be learned from each and every experience shared.
As your companion, to offer what was noticed, appreciated and wondered about as I listened, in an effort to help you increase awareness of your soul’s expressions and the sacredness of your story; a place for both laughter and tears

My approach is person centered, creative, exploratory and open to all things, all peoples, all journeys. I have a beautiful room to work in, horses to play with, to see your journey transformed by their presence. I use drawing, play, humour, symbol and dreams. If I know little about what you want to use, I will learn with you, you are my teacher in understanding God's leading in your life.

As a Spiritual Director I see myself is as a companion who walks alongside another at their own pace, helping them to discover the wonder and mystery of the Divine through the everyday moments of their life story. In a non-threatening and non-judgemental but welcoming quiet space online, deep listening is offered, where you can confidentially explore your relationship with the Divine, and notice, reflect, question and engage with the Divine.

Kia Ora,
I love meeting people individually and giving them the opportunity to receive spiritual direction, especially if they have never tried this before. I am keen to give seekers the option of sessions even if they cannot afford these. Don’t let finances be a barrier.
I have a passion for the outdoors, I love being active and also being still as I listen to the stories of others.
I work at the local hospice. Through this work I am mindful of the many people who are outside the institutional church and yet long to sense their God in the midst of their lives. I specialise in supporting others through times of change, loss and grief. It is a privilege to share together.

Spiritual direction is where one person is prayerfully present and attentive to another. Offering spiritual direction is a privileged place where I can encourage people to unpack what is happening in their lives and for them to notice and discover the movements of God therein. In Spiritual Direction I invite a person to sit with God, in an uninterrupted space, where they can listen to God and to their own heart. I welcome the opportunity to support people as a co-listener, as we witness together the emergence of newness and
growth in a person’s life. I am happy to be with those whose spiritual experience is different from mine. In spiritual direction, I also can learn from those who I accompany.

I see Spiritual Direction as being a companion in accompanying others to become aware of what God is doing in and around them so that they can respond to, and partner with God in it and therefore take pleasure in seeing what unfolds.
Its being fully present to another through listening Incarnationally as they explore their life's journey, asking questions that enables self reflection, understanding and growth.
