Who Seeks Spiritual Direction?

Persons from all walks of life, from all faith traditions, can benefit from seeing a Spiritual Director. A Spiritual Director can offer you the opportunity to present and observe the story of your life for reflection and exploration. As a relational process, Spiritual Direction may help provide a path of discovery and meaning. Do you:

• find yourself desiring a deeper relationship with the Holy Mystery many call God?
• sense a need for a spiritual practice or discipline?
• find yourself desiring to grow spiritually?
• feel the need for help in discerning the call of God for you?
• want to explore new or more satisfying ways to pray?
• feel your search for God is at a crossroad?
• desire a companion on your spiritual journey?
• feel drawn to Transcendence beyond your understanding?
• seek to experience deeper meaning and wonder in life?

Spiritual Direction helps you take action on your intent to recognize the presence of the Holy in your everyday life. 

Religious and Spiritual Leaders
Do you struggle to access consistent ongoing support and accountability for yourself and your vocation? It can be hard to feel connected to a steady source of spiritual growth and many organizations struggle to provide effective strategies for support and accountability for leaders doing spiritual work. Spiritual Direction can be a part of a personal development plan for pastors, teachers, elders, team leaders, and more. Consider meeting with a Spiritual Director regularly. A spiritual companion is someone dedicated to a relational process that supports you and your own intimate walk with the Divine. A Spiritual Director can provide a safe space for a leader to question and laugh, wrestle and grieve, sort or hold silence, and otherwise practice any manner of spiritual efforts.

Not-for-Profit Staff/Volunteers
Similar to support for spiritual leaders, ministry workers, counsellors, support staff and anyone working to support marginalized or at-risk population groups can benefit from the kind and dedicated care of a Spiritual Director. Not-for-profit staff or volunteer teams may be directly or vicariously impacted by traumatic experiences, post-secondary stress, trauma-adjacent experiences, or other situations that activate our head, heart, and body centres. The opportunity to rest or explore complex life experiences with the assistance of a Spiritual Director can mean the difference between burnout and sustained purpose-driven work.
