Spiritual Direction is a ministry in which one person accompanies another in the process of growing in intimacy with God. The focus of spiritual direction is the directee's experience of God in his/her life and prayer, and the way communication happens between God and the directee. You may feel the need for spiritual direction when you desire a deeper relationship with God, when you feel your search for God is at a crossroads, when you want to explore new ways of praying or feel your prayer is difficult, when you feel the need for a companion on the spiritual journey to walk with you and listen, or when you are seeking to discern the call of the Spirit in your life. Regular meetings with a spiritual director help one to notice and become aware of God in self, others, events, and all of life! The fee for each hour-long spiritual direction session usually ranges from $30 to $100. The amount is based on your household income.
