“SD released me from dreaded dualism and binary theologies, it enabled me to be free to be myself and to value my gifts and abilities and to be confident in spiritual discernment.”

“My very first seeker came to me once I finished my training. Eight years later she still meets me every month, rain or shine, in person or on the phone. She finds great affirmation through spiritual direction. Her journey inspires me!”

“I do enjoy this ministry. The presence of divine energy always is palpable to me and the directees. This is a precious and awe-inspiring experience.”

“My personal spiritual directors have been very good listeners. I like to talk things out.”

“Almost allowing the flow to come from a fragility. I learn so much from the ones I am accompanying and the mistakes I know I make on the journey. Submitting to the flow of the Spirit has allowed me not to give up on myself and the gift that I might bring to the conversation. Seeing the growth and Joy in our engagement with each other is sooo fulfilling”

“For me, as a long time therapist, I am relieved when I talk with my own director or interact with a directed because I can speak without fear of diagnosis and listen without having to diagnose”

“I have had many spiritual directors over my life beginning in my twenties until a couple years ago. I also moved around the country a bit necessitating changes. I appreciated having someone to share my heart or insights with or to help me see things from a different angle.”

“Opened a whole new world of joys and also of pain”

“My experience is that when we are able to quiet our nervous systems, clear our minds by sharing our joys and challenges and questions, and come to a place of center, wisdom and guidance come.”

“Every time I offer spiritual direction I feel that I am standing on sacred ground. It amazes me first how an individual is willing to open up their spiritual life and story to me, and how the Spirit will move through our conversation.”

“Having a teacher that knows their own divinity and one learns by transmission”
