What is Spiritual Direction?

 

Some have described a Spiritual Director as a spiritual midwife, a spiritual companion or a life coach.

The definition I prefer is simply someone who “holds space" for the Holy Spirit to live and move and breathe. However you come to our time together, my goal is to provide space for the Holy Spirit to comfort, challenge, and/or bring you to a deeper connection in your relationship with the divine.
 

Do you need a Spiritual Director to grow closer in your relationship with God? Perhaps not, but the presence of a Spiritual Director can become a vital part of your journey towards spiritual growth.

 

A Spiritual Director can provide:

• Accountability

• Feedback

• A safe place for honest contemplation and reflection

• New ideas and practices

• A listening partner

​

The work of the Holy Spirit in anyone’s life is a sacred space and each person’s relationship with God is a sacred journey. The role of a Spiritual Director is not to tell someone what to believe or how to connect with God. It is again, simply, to “hold space” for work of the Holy Spirit.

Group Spiritual Direction

Group opportunities can be set up with 3-5 people per group. The group is a safe place at which members are holy listeners to each other. Sessions will be facilitated by Carrie. The group can be created by you or occasionally there are opportunities for groups to be formed. This can take place in a mutually agreed upon or virtually.
