"When we are alone, we can get so easily caught up in the tangle of our own minds, keep going over the same ground without reaching any conclusion, miss whole sides of a matter, imagine things that are not there or merit little consideration.
A spiritual director is a careful listener.
She helps you sort, gives you feedback, offers suggestions, points you to other resources.
She cares about you, encourages you, and as best she can, helps you find what you seek.
But she doesn’t tell you what you ought to do."
Thomas Hart
Untangling together
Who is spiritual direction for?
Spiritual Direction is for you.
It's about slowing down and listening to your soul. In spiritual direction, the director is there to listen with you and remind you to savor the silence and hear the still small voice.
It's simple.
It's slow, but it works.
Spiritual direction is not discipleship or mentoring. It's a practice of the church for people who have walked the long road of faith, and now have some questions and need space to slow down.
"Seek the companionship of others who will befriend you and listen as you live the questions of your life.”
