Spiritual Direction.
Why Spiritual Direction?
In today's fast-paced world, spiritual direction plays a vital role in enhancing our ability to live out that which is most important to us. Through profound listening and thoughtful reflection, spiritual direction deepens our connection with the transcendent, fostering a profound sense of interconnectedness and provides rich ground from which to have a meaningful contribution.
What is it?
At its core, spiritual direction is a sacred and confidential space where you can explore and nurture your relationship with God/the Divine, whatever that may mean to you. It is a compassionate and supportive partnership between you and a trained director who acts as a trusted guide on your development as a person.
Spiritual direction is not tied to any particular religious tradition or belief system.
It is an inclusive practice that honours and respects the diverse spiritual backgrounds and perspectives of each individual. Whether you follow a specific religious tradition or consider yourself more spiritual than religious, spiritual direction can provide you with the tools and guidance to deepen your connection with the Divine.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience”
― Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
