Spiritual Direction

The voice inside knows the way.

Stop ignoring your gut feelings and allowing fear to dictate your decisions.

Unlock the pathway to hear it.

what is spiritual direction?

A form of spiritual companionship offered to support individuals who are seeking clarity and desire to connect with their deepest self, or the True Self.

Contemplative Spiritual Direction

Centers the individual and their challenges

Uses the individual's own inner wisdom to shape their spiritual value system

Supports the individual in bringing all of their voices to the table

Emphasizes awareness of inner peace and present union with the Sacred, divine or sacred, which is defined by the individual.

Honors our inner authority and the divine in us

Traditional Forms of Religious Guidance

Often centers the skills of the religious leader

Seeks to convert or change beliefs

Positions discernment as acquiring a "right formula" for God to grant sought-out answers

Emphasizes future rewards over communion with God in the present moment

Often demands reverence of the director's position and stances

Individuals who seek spiritual direction are often preparing to make a big life decision (discernment) and/or a life transition, and as such, may be desiring spiritual support during the critical time. 

My approach integrates contemplative spirituality and Parts Work.

parts work

An opportunity to explore the many roles of the mind such as the "inner child" (vulnerable part) or "protector" (defensive part), etc.

The goal in this work is to stop over-identifying with extreme roles, for more inner peace.

Learn how to stop listening for guidance, everywhere but from within

compassion-based spiritual direction

  • Cultivates and deepens the experiential relationship with the Sacred presence that exists from within

  • Support to listen from within rather than listening to outside noise

  • A safe and non-judgemental space to explore the interior noise in order to quiet it

  • Offers a still moment to sense the Sacred and trust your experience of what the Sacred is revealing

  • Channels compassion and creates a path to discern for yourself the Sacred’s invitation in their lives.

parts work + spiritual direction

= compassion-based spiritual direction
