About Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction offers a Sacred Space to explore your life with God, while being accompanied by a director who listens with compassion and discernment. Together, we wander through the moments of your days and explore the movements of God in your life. Every moment holds a Divine imprint, but sometimes we lose our way. It is normal to go through periods of spiritual darkness or uncertainty. In Spiritual Direction, your director will accompany you and allow you space to be exactly where you are in a safe and confidential environment.

"God's presence is everywhere around us. God is able to penetrate and intertwine Himself within the fibers of the human self in such a way that those who are enveloped in His loving companionship will never be alone."
Dallas Willard
American Philosopher

Spiritual Formation Groups

Spiritual Formation groups offer a confidential space to journey with others that desire to deepen fellowship with God and one another. Formation Groups will allow each individual to notice how God is inviting them to be integrated into their truest form. Every group will be led by one of our trained spiritual directors, who will facilitate a safe and confidential space to allow for spiritual growth and connection.

We are currently offering groups to Non-Profit and Church Leadership that focus on Polyvagal Theory and the Prayer of Examen. Please reach out to Ben or Tracy if you want more information.
