Cathryn Wiles-Pickard Spiritual Director

Religious background

I am a member of Nga Whaea Atawhai o Aotearoa Sisters of Mercy NZ and have been working at our Mercy Spirituality Centre (Now called Hou Mana Wai Mercy Wellsprings) for many years. We have an ecumenical approach and I’m open to companion anyone whatever their Christian Tradition.

I practice daily Christian Meditation and have been a teacher of Christian Meditation for over twenty years. I’m also very interested in Creation Spirituality and Cosmology and meet regularly with an interest group. I have had opportunities of studying Scripture, Theology and Spirituality in New Zealand, Australia and America.

Approach to spiritual direction

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.

I have been trained through the Spiritual Growth Ministry and have been a Spiritual Director for 17 Years.
