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.

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.

Jo Anistasiadis Spiritual Director wellington
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.

When you come to spiritual direction, you are opening yourself to hear God’s invitation to grow in the ‘unforced rhythms of grace’. As I walk alongside you on your faith journey, my role is to offer you the gift of safe space and deep listening. You bring your experiences, and together, we discern and celebrate the Sacred in the everydayness of your life. My prayer is that you grow in self-awareness and developing intimacy with God.

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.

My approach to spiritual direction is to listen to ‘your’ stories, to bring prompts or questions that may help uncover deeper meaning. I delight in offering a poem, image or activity which opens space for the insight that comes when we stop ‘thinking’ and let thoughts ‘come’. I trust that God hovers close. I draw each session into the sacred silence, listening to the voice/feeling/image/mood of God.

Accompanying someone on their spiritual journey is a great privilege! I seek to offer a place of safety and confidentiality where deep listening and reflection occurs - a space where everyone's unique story can be gently unfolded and honoured in God's presence.

Jocelyn Dale Spiritual Director
You're invited to share a conversation each month around the things in your life that are important: relationships, work, prayer. The aim is to help you deepen your relationship with God. I will listen attentively to your story, using questions and suggestions to help you explore and deepen your relationship with God and consider the implications for your life. I prefer to proceed at your pace, under the rhythms of grace!!!

Karen McKie Spiritual Director
Spiritual Direction is a space for you to listen to your authentic self. To be seen and heard. To notice the movement of God within your daily life, the highs and lows and the spaces in-between. I love the imagery of the nest. Where the three of us gather, you and me and the Spirit of God. Here we take pause from the busyness of life, we breathe and rest and listen together. It is a safe space where all are welcome, there is no judgment here. It is a privilege to be with you on this pilgrimage of discovery and grace, with God as our guide.

he hope I hold out for those I companion spiritually is that a spacious enough place will be created that the presence of God is sensed. I also hold a particular desire to walk alongside ( virtually) people who are working in an overseas context, so they are supported to maintain their spiritual vitality in that setting. Much of what I experienced overseas through mission life has led me to want to have a specialised knowledge of trauma, and I am still exploring the ways our spirituality helps in recovery from trauma.
