I love to accompanying people as we listen to God's movement together. Spiritual direction time for me is to make space for God connection. Sometimes we can try using creativity and arts to explore or deepen the experience. I also am passionate about bringing the contemplative prayer to young people.

I see spiritual direction as a relationship in which one person helps another ‘with a personal understanding of the spiritual life, growth in self-knowledge, and deepening intimacy with God.’ (Janet Ruffing, To Tell the Sacred Tale: Spiritual Direction and Narrative. New York, NY: Paulist Press, 2011, p. 2). In practical terms, for me this means meeting one-to-one with people, usually monthly, to talk about spiritual issues and to explore where God is in the midst of daily life and work. The term 'spiritual director' might suggest someone who is going to tell you how to live your spiritual life, but that is not how I see it. Rather, the one coming to spiritual direction decides what they want to talk about, and I seek to walk alongside as a companion and a co-discerner. This is something I enjoy and find to be a great privilege!

Paul Reet Spiritual Director
I see myself as an accompanying person alongside another discovering the presence, voice and discernment of God; what God may be saying through circumstances, personal history, relationships. We are holistic people, physical, emotional and spiritual and I work with all these aspects of a person's life to increase awareness and a sense of God's presence and working. Metaphorically I am companion gardener, with you and the Greatest Gardener, uncovering clearing sowing and reaping, pondering and wondering, waiting and being.

Kathryn Overall Spiritual Director
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.

Greetings! working intuitively with Holye Spirite in my heart is how I approach this ministry. I work in other fields too, so my kete is loaded with all of those tools as well, used for mental well-being, and for super-vision of leaders in their fields. If you choose me as your companion on the spiritual journey you could expect it would be a creative yet quiet and contemplative time, it would have intuitive and intelligent process, plus humour where appropriate. Information would also be shared, and pausing in silence to listen to God would be part of the hour we spend together.

Anne McCracken Spiritual Director
Whangarei based. I have this quote in my Spiritual Direction room to remind me of what I'm about: "...a way of looking and listening, of beholding, marvelling, considering...we are all called to contemplation" (Margaret Magdelen). I love to see the surprising and often unexpected ways God is revealed to be at work to those sitting in conversation with me.

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.

Kiaora koutou... In 4 words, my approach is: "Live in the present!" I am shaped by the Ignatian Exercises and the desire to balance contemplation and action as I follow Jesus - but as your spiritual companion, my role is to help you reflect on how your life is being shaped, and to engage with God in that process.

I am a trained counsellor, so I am coming to you with a variety of skills, most importantly listening and following your lead. I use an approach of gentle questioning and use drawing therapy to help clarify, and find ways that allow you to get a clearer picture of yourself and your spiritual journey.

I enjoy accompanying people in their journey to discover where God is active in their lives and to pay attention to this activity. I am also a counsellor and interested in mental health alongside spirituality.

Nicky Browne Spiritual Director
Spiritual Direction is a sacred space where stories are honoured, not fixed, and where the individual's humanity is embraced as part of their connection to a loving God. It unveils the divine within everyday moments through quiet questions, reflection, and discernment. It is holy hospitality, welcoming the entirety of one's being – joys, hopes, fears, dreams, decisions and doubts.

Helen-Gray Spiritual Director
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.

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.

Renate Frei Spiritual director
It is important to me that the directee is leading the way in what she/he wants to talk about and that they feel comfortable. Together we are looking for God/the Holy Spirit/Jesus in the directees day to day life - in the good places and in the bad ones, in the happy ones and in the sad ones. The aim is to grow closer to the One they believe in, and to find comfort and strength to face life’s challenges. I believe that in learning how deeply they are loved they will also come closer to finding their True Self. Sometimes images, art, stories, and the interpretation of dreams, etc. are effective tools I use in guiding my directees to find their own truth. If it feels appropriate, I draw on the wisdom of the Enneagram to help them understand themselves better.

Samantha Head Spiritual Director
Spiritual direction will provide you with dedicated time and a confidential space where you can plumb the depths of your personal/spiritual life at a pace that is suitable to you. As spiritual director i consider my role as partnering with you as you traverse and travail the heights and depths of your personal/spiritual journey, encouraging you to notice and attend to the invitations and movements of the Holy amidst your life experiences and current journey.

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).

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.

To accompany anyone is a privilege that I take very seriously. My approach is inclusive and grounded in the fact that Jesus is the ongoing Incarnation of God. I respect the sacredness of everyone’s journey and celebrate the diverse ways God speaks to me as I seek to listen to contemplatively.

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.

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.
