Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is a ministry and relationship in which one person accompanies another in the process of growing intimacy with God. It's like having a spiritual mentor, spiritual friend, or spiritual companion.
The focus of spiritual direction is a person's experiences of God in their life and prayer. A director helps you to become aware of Spirit's movements in your life and can encourage you to respond in ways that are uniquely your own.
Problems arise in each of our lives, which may affect our relationship with one another or with God. Problem solving, however, is not the focus of spiritual direction, as in counseling. Rather, your attention is directed to the Divine Healer.
Spiritual direction is for women and men from all walks of life, from all faith traditions.
