Spiritual direction is an ancient listening ministry. Although direction is in the title, spiritual direction is often very non-directive in approach. It is acknowledged that direction sessions are guided beyond the director whether that is the emergent nature of the universe or one of the directee’s spiritual relationships. Spiritual direction invites the relationship to something greater than us to be the “director” or guide of the sessions.

Many directors are now using the title companion as a more accurate term for the director’s role. I see my role as a witness and an ally in the spiritual process. I am passionate about spiritual inquiry and welcome the opportunity to grapple with the joys and challenges we face on our spiritual journey.

Unfortunately in dominant culture, there are not many spaces of spiritual witness and that can lead to feelings of confusion and frustration. I hope to provide a space that honors who you are and the journey that you are on.

My approach is contemplative evocative. This means that our work will consist of contemplative or mindfulness practices to sit with and explore issues that are brought to direction. The evocative aspect involves me posing open-ended questions to encourage you to move into deeper exploration.
