“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
A Simple Prayer Will Do
The shorter days also mean more darkness, and by the time January rolls around I am aware of the way less daylight affects me. Lower energy and a lower mood, which makes it difficult to do all the things I love to do or that are important to me, like praying.
Winter Wisdom Lights our Path: A Prayer from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Next week, on January 17, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr Day and remember the great leadership of another human “star” whose life models courage, perseverance and truth…whose words “light” our paths toward peace, justice and equality.
A Fresh Start to a New Year
Instead of a New Year’s resolution, choose a word for the year and reflect on it and utilize it as a guide for the year.
