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.

Spiritual direction provides a spacious sacred container to hear yourself speak, honour what is true for you and deepen your life. I invite those who come for direction to tell their story and to discern what is most life-giving for them. Together, we explore what is significant or holy, in words or silence or creativity.

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.

am an Ignatian director, trained in the SEED programme in Christchurch and now in Te Wairua Mahi. My commitment is that the session is primarily between you and God with me offering helpful quiet interventions that may assist us both to listen to the Divine Lover more deeply. In a limited way, I use poetry and story-telling, and I also value the natural world which especially relevant because the space where i meet with you in person backs onto our lovely garden in Pukerua Bay. I call my spiritual direction Facebook page Eccles Unlimited Consultancy because I believe that what you and me and God can do together is unlimited!

I prefer a holistic approach to faith journeys, where no matter the starting point, I can walk beside someone and hold space for them. Spiritual Direction is a place where deep work can happen, gently, over time.
I have clients who have been with me for 2-3 years, others for a year and still others whom I meet at retreats on a daily basis for the duration of their retreat.
I enjoy interacting with a variety of people and their own very special journeys into faith.
I was brought up in a bi-lingual family, I can offer Spiritual direction in Spanish as well as English.

As a Spiritual Director, I am a soul friend to others. I value accompanying others as they search to deepen their relationship with the divine and grow in their own personal spiritual journey.
I am personally interested in the significance of dreams and how God communicates with us in our spiritual lives as well as the impact of loss and grief on our spirituality. Additionally, I am also interested by different personalities and how they complement and enrich our understanding of ourselves. I believe relationships are essential in helping us recognise ourselves a the unique individuals God created us to be, fostering our growth in compassion and forgiveness.
I appreciate the interconnectedness of body, mind, spirit and the cosmos which adds richness and beauty to each person. For me, “the real Director is the Holy Spirit hidden in the depths of our soul.” Thomas Merton.

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.

“Listening with another to the Spirit’s direction.”
“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.” (Frederick Buechner)
I have the immense privilege of listening to the life that people choose to share with me. I listen to them, I listen with them, and together we notice the Spirit’s direction.

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 prefer to use the term Companion as I believe I am accompanying a person on their spiritual journey. I like to listen to the person - allow them to 'tell their story' and encouraging them to trust their own personal experiences - reflect upon their experiences and 'seeing' how God is present in the ordinary and sometimes extraordinary daily events of life.

Sometimes two people are better than one in making sense of what life brings our way and moving towards new possibilities and hope. Spiritual direction is a form of spiritual companionship or a way to intentionally deepen your understanding of God, yourself, and the context you live in. It is an opportunity to expand your spiritual practices and skills and grow closer to your True Self and God as your Source.

I see life as a journey. We all go on journeys to destinations near and far. We experience new cultures and have wonderful adventures; we may do extraordinary feats or go to unexplored places. But for many of us our journeys go within ourselves.

I like the metaphor of being a companion on the journey. Sometimes a new companion can bring a fresh perspective to the path ahead. Perhaps provide an alternative route or a way out of what may
feel like a dry and spirit-less desert.
My approach is contemplative; presence and listening lie at the heart of my work. For this reason, I am comfortable working with people from the broad sweep of Christian traditions. And because of my hospice work, I have an affinity with people who might describe themselves as unchurched seekers or refugees from dogmatism.

I came to spiritual direction in my later years after working as a psychologist for 30 years and after some difficulties in defining the boundaries between the two disciplines I have come to a place where they inform each other and blend well.
The role of companioning someone on their journey into the Loving Mystery of God is a privilege. My intention is to listen deeply without judgement, open to all aspects of being because every part of a person; mental, emotional, relational and spiritual is grist to the mill of life and is an invitation drawing us closer to the realisation of Emmanual (God with us).

I approach spiritual direction as one of life’s great and noble adventures as we set out to explore and discover the presence and voice of the sacred in our world and within ourselves. On this path, we learn to listen and respond to a loving God beyond our imagination. This spiritual journey requires that we are equipped with courage and bravery to move beyond our fixed notions in the hope and assurance of deeper insight. On this journey, we hold the world and ourselves with compassion and kind-heartedness.

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.

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.

Spiritual Direction is a regular conversation in which you are supported to notice and attune to Divine presence active in your life. It is a place to explore the happenings of daily life through the lens of spiritual communion. God is always speaking. It is for us to learn how to tune into this communication.

Often when we begin, or when we are on our spiritual journey, we come across an ‘intersection of uncertainty’ - not knowing which way to turn, feeling the need for meaningful guidance. My sense is spiritual direction is, by its’ nature, a supporting guide on our pilgrimage to knowing and growing our spiritual selves. In spiritual direction you will find yourself chaperoned by a director and guided by the spirit of Love. There is deep listening, prayer, parables, dreamwork, enneagram and discernment in this sacred container. And, overtime, awareness of self and spirit develops; telling markers, symbols and associations announce their place, their nurturing value in your spiritual formation. Your uncertainty of which way to turn gains clarity, all the while moving you farther along on your spiritual journey. Slowly, and assuredly your meaningful relationship with God unfolds……. and it is good.

Deepening our relationship with God is the journey of a life time & perhaps beyond! My intention is to provide a warm, welcoming, safe space for you to explore and deepen your relationship with God. I find it a profound privilege to accompany people as they explore God's presence in their lives. Spiritual Direction is a sacred space for you and God. Sometimes it is only when we step out of the busyness of our lives and take time to talk about our relationships, work, whanau, hobbies, & passions, to someone who truly listens, that we begin to attune to and become more aware of God's presence within the extra-ordinaryness of our lives.

My approach to Spiritual Direction is that of creating a welcoming listening space, where you feel comfortable to share whatever you are most present to in your life experience at this time, whatever that might be. A space where you are deeply heard and together we attend to your awareness of God and Divine Presence in your life, however this is named, and where we can attend to what is seeking to emerge as a way forward in your life.
I have been inspired by the rich tradition of the christian mystics, and draw on a background of contemplative and Ignatian prayer practices in accompanying others. Among other things I have a passion for grandchildren, the awe and beauty of nature, walking, photography, and good films.

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.
