Individual Spiritual Direction
I am an inter-faith spiritual director, meaning I will work with anyone who wants to grow and attend to their spiritual selves and journey, regardless of their religious or non-religious affiliation. Time spent one-on-one with a spiritual companion who is there to listen deeply to a person’s inner-life is a unique, sacred, and invaluable experience. Spiritual Directors typically meet with directees (clients) for a one-hour session once each month. This relationship can continue indefinitely, although the relationship can, of course, end at any time. (Click here for a more detailed description of spiritual direction.)
Due to COVID-19, all sessions are currently held online via Zoom. If you’re curious if we would vibe well together, contact me, and we’ll meet for an initial free consultation to determine if we’re a good match. If we feel it’s not the right fit, I know many other Spiritual Directors to whom I could refer you.

Group Spiritual Direction
I am trained in facilitating group spiritual direction for a committed group of 3-5 people who want to support each other on their spiritual journeys. This confidential space works well for groups of friends, or within spiritual communities. Your group will learn to respectfully hold space for each other in your questions, joys, and struggles. You will deepen your trust and friendship among group members, while helping each other to move closer to a real trust and friendship with the Spirit of Love. This process involves prayer, periods of silence for reflection and listening for Spirit, and vulnerable sharing by one member of the group who will then be offered questions from group members to bring them deeper into their experience. Members will take turns being the person who shares at each session. The group will decide whether to meet weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly, and should commit to meeting together for at least a year. After this year, you will have gained the skills to facilitate your own group process, and can choose to run your group autonomously, without me as a facilitator.
I have a private, comfortable space to meet with a direction group in my home in south Minneapolis. Group direction is more financially accessible for some, as the group splits the cost. Contact me with questions or ideas about how to make this process work for your group!
