Spiritual Direction
What is Spiritual Direction?
Also called spiritual companionship, spiritual direction is a relationship that deepens how we connect our bodies, minds, and spirits to what we hold most sacred in our lives. A trained spiritual director holds judgement-free space for the client to explore their spiritual relationships—these may include relationships with God, gods, ancestors, ethics, and deeper senses of self. The spiritual director offers noticings, reflections, and suggestions for how the client may continue to deepen these relationships. Spiritual direction has roots in many ancient and modern cultures, religions, and wisdom traditions.
What do you mean by ‘spiritual?’
I mean ‘spiritual’ here in its broadest sense. Spirituality is the practices and deeply-held convictions that connect us to what makes life most meaningful. What we find spiritual are the moments, people, relationships, and understandings that focus our awareness on those deep wells of existential meaning. What is spiritual for one person may not be spiritual for another.
What do you mean by ‘direction?’
In my work, ‘direction’ means navigation. As a spiritual director, I’m not orchestrating your spirituality. Instead, I’m coming alongside you to navigate the depths and breadth of your spirituality with you.
