Spiritual Direction
“Helping people discover and grow a relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human.” - The Chaplaincy Institute
What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction is a subset of ministry that is not therapy, nor is it pastoral care, or even chaplaincy. It is not life coaching, and it’s not small group ministry.
Spiritual Direction is a safe place to be heard, a place of uninterrupted time for considering your identity, to explore your inner landscape, and to develop your own concept of yourself as a spiritual person. It is a time in your month to breathe.
I provide support in a spiritual but not necessarily “religious” way. We will find a language that works for you.
We can use tarot and other forms of art to stimulate subconscious knowings. I specialize in personality archetypes like the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs and use the wisdom in these systems to help you better understand yourself and your dynamic relationships with others.
Or we can just sit together with some hot tea and chat about what’s going on.
I am a trained spiritual director but more than that, I genuinely love talking to people about who they are and who they want to be. Sessions typically last about an hour, and I recommend either once or twice monthly for most people. The length of time can vary from just a couple sessions to a much longer-term relationship.
Who is Spiritual Direction for?
I love to work with people who strive to understand themselves and hear their own inner voice with more clarity.
I work with people of all religions and no religious tradition.
I am Unitarian Universalist with an earth-centered bent, so I am particularly at home with people who fall outside some of the dominant religious institutions or have some healing to do there.
I enthusiastically welcome polyamorous, queer, kink, and LGBTQ+ folx, as well as neuro-atypical and disabled or house-bound clients.
I also work with youth and young adults, (with parental consent under age 18.)
If you are seeking freedom, direction, and a little support while you find your soul’s calling, I hope you will consider working with me.
OK, but what’s involved specifically?
In spiritual direction sessions we can:
Explore your values, ethics, and temperament
Discuss and create rituals and spiritual practices for deepening your relationship with your inner voice (including but not limited to Tarot, journaling, float tanks, meditation, music, movement, and art)
Explore the role of spirituality and divinity in your life
Explore stories and myths that have shaped your life and determine which to keep and which could use a rewrite.
Look at your passions and commitments and make sure that you are contributing to justice work in a way that feels sustainable and life-giving.
Take a deep dive into your relationships and work on developing authentic and meaningful communication skills.
