Spiritual Direction Philosophy

Spiritual direction is a relationship of solidarity and a process of growing in freedom, together. It is time set aside to pay attention beyond the habitual, to resist what deadens us, and to welcome what makes us come alive.

Spiritual direction helps us listen for how we are called to love more fully. We can be called by so many voices — our ancestors, our neighbors, our conscience, other living beings, Wisdom traditions, the lessons of history and the natural world. These callings may or may not come alongside a particular religious tradition. Spiritual direction is held in the encompassing circle of Big Love—the force of the Universe that always creates new life, even through death—which some of us call God
