“Where are you?”
Spiritual direction is an ongoing relationship that gives you the time and space to notice your unique spiritual growth, participate in the slow work of God, immerse yourself in the river of life, and respond to God, “Here I am.”

Reflections from Our Directors
Love Each Other
The beauty of the stories of Jesus is that they reflect the human condition today. Loving one another is hard with family and with strangers. The stress of a continued pandemic and all its variants, the daily rise in gas prices, earth crying out for help, injustice unchecked, and a war leads me to want to blame and shame someone.
Pondering Movements of Mystery and Hope in May 2022
Yes, recovery is possible today due to many advances in the understanding of mental illnesses as “bio-chemical brain disease.”
Finding Clarity Amidst a Life Decision
Regardless of a specific religion or spirituality, we all benefit from the act of reflecting on our feelings and noticing the direction they compel us. Observing whether you are drawn towards feelings of consolation or desolation can be a profound source of inner guidance and begin to bring your heart’s true desire into focus.
