Spiritual direction is a lifelong journey. You may find that you need to seek out a spiritual director from time to time, especially when you are facing major life changes or challenges.

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

Spiritual direction is a confidential relationship between a spiritual director and a directee, in which the directee shares their spiritual journey and the director listens, asks questions, and offers support and guidance.

The goal of spiritual direction is to help the directee grow in their relationship with the divine. The director is not a therapist or counselor, and they do not offer advice or tell the directee what to do. Instead, they listen with compassion and understanding, and they help the directee to see their own path more clearly.

Spiritual direction can be helpful for people of all faiths, or for those who are exploring their spirituality. It can be a supportive space to explore questions about faith, life, and meaning. It can also be a place to receive guidance on how to live a more spiritually fulfilling life.

There are many different approaches to spiritual direction. Some directors follow a particular spiritual tradition, while others are more eclectic. Some directors focus on specific areas of spiritual growth, such as prayer, meditation, or discernment. Others take a more holistic approach, considering all aspects of the directee's life.
