When engaged in spiritual direction you are intentionally creating time designed to slow down and allow space for listening to where God is showing up in your spirit and body. You may feel an inkling to explore questions as they arise within you or hold them for a moment. Perhaps you&#8217;ll sense an invitation to reflect on the impact of daily living on your soul and spiritual journey.&nbsp;<br><br>As a Spiritual Director I will walk with you as a soul friend. I will prayerfully support and encourage you to notice how God is present in your life, your soul&#8217;s belovedness, and how you might respond to His invitations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>The relationship of spiritual companionship is sacred, safe, and confidential.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-f2a61316 gb-headline-text\"><br><strong>What to expect? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-3a929adf gb-headline-text\">Sessions are generally 60-minutes and take place once a month.
