My approach to spiritual direction stems from the Ignatian tradition. I am trained as a spiritual director and a 'giver of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.
Ignatian Spiritual Direction is based on Ignatian spirituality, developed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556). The Ignatian Tradition leads the directee through a journey of uncovering their deepest desires and discovering who they truly are, that is, a person who is loved by God. The tradition also equips the directee with methods for identifying inner movements, and spiritual growth. These help the directee find the path of their own spiritual journey.

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!!!

It is a privilege to hold a space for another to explore their life and discern together where the Spirit is at work. As I sit with another, we are at an oasis, sharing the life-giving water. Sometimes it feels like dry desert times, difficult dark times or easy joyous times. All are welcome and held as sacred offerings and invitations into the Divine.
Working at Peacemakers Retreat Center we naturally engage with nature through the paddocks, the trees, the animals and birdsong. There is also the option of walking in the Rongoa or the Labyrinth, creating a wholistic experience, allowing God to speak through the land.

Spiritual Direction provides a wonderful opportunity to accompany people on their journey with Our God. I aim to listen, to draw out and ask questions that help another pay attention to God's activity and presence in their lives. I am trained in the Ignatian Tradition and draw on this in my ministry.

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.

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 offering Spiritual Direction as a privilege. An offering of hospitality - providing time and a welcoming space. A listening, non-judgmental heart and a co-discerning spirit. Celebrating, challenging and cheering you on, as you journey with God on your unique path, and as you craft out a life of balance between full-on everyday living and quiet reflective stillness in your inner chapel.
Lately, God has also brought about the fulfilment of a desire He has placed in my heart to provide a Quiet Space for people hungry for a time away with Him. A time of Reflection and Rest.

Many of us experience seasons of questioning and even doubt in relation to aspects of our faith, meaning there can be times when we may find ourselves needing to go through a process of deconstruction and rebuilding. This can often be a confusing (or even painful) process. Accompaniment and spiritual companionship can be important when this happens in helping to maintain perspective, live with tensions and mystery, and searching for a sense of God in it all.

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.

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.

y preferred model of ministry is Mid-wife; coming alongside others to help bring to birth those things waiting within to be realised, named, embraced and expressed in life and ministry.
I believe every person and their journey is unique to them and I am committed to empowering people to explore in their own way, naming not only their experiences and insights but also how they wish to respond to the invitations and challenges therein.

It seems to me that the Spirit, Breath, Wind of God is at work everywhere in this beautiful and fallen world; constantly speaking and offering invitations to join with Godself (whatever language one uses for the Divine).
The Spiritual Director's role, as I see it, is to help the one who comes for direction to notice where God is present in their own life and the life of others.
In Spiritual Direction I try to discern the Spirit whispers occurring and to help the one with me to hear those whispers and direct invitations for themselves.
We live in the country but I offer Spiritual Direction in different venues in Christchurch and surrounds and can also do that on line.

I love to offer a variety of creative practices within Spiritual Direction, both one-on-one and in small groups. I'm continually amazed at how God meets people when enagaging our senses creatively, especially through touch, visually and by listening.
