Spiritual Direction

What Is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is a sacred companionship—an invitation to listen deeply for the whispers of the Divine woven through your everyday life. It is not about being given answers, but about attuning to the presence of Spirit already moving within and around you.

As a spiritual director, I serve as a witness and a mirror—holding space for your unfolding journey with reverence, presence, and discernment. I do not lead or teach, but accompany you as you explore your relationship with the Sacred, however you name or experience it.

We may sit with questions like:

  • Where is the Divine showing up in your life?
  • What inner stirrings are seeking expression?
  • How is Spirit inviting you into transformation?

This is not therapy, nor is it life coaching. Spiritual direction is not focused on goals or productivity—it is an unhurried space to notice, reflect, and align with the deeper currents of your soul’s path.

“A Spiritual Director is one who helps another to recognize and to follow the inspirations of grace in his life, in order to arrive at the end to which God is leading him.” ~ Thomas Merton

Spiritual Direction vs. Coaching

While coaching often emphasizes personal growth, clarity, and forward motion, spiritual direction centers on presence, mystery, and communion with the Sacred. Both are powerful tools for transformation—but they differ in pace, posture, and purpose.

Coaching tends to be more structured and future-oriented. We may explore identity, values, desires, shadow work, or patterns—always with the aim of integration and empowerment.

Spiritual direction, by contrast, is less about “doing” and more about “being.” It’s a contemplative practice of holy listening, trusting that your own inner wisdom—illuminated by the presence of Spirit—will guide your way.
