What is Spiritual Direction?

"Spiritual direction is a contemplative practice of examining and exploring one's spiritual path with a person trained in listening, discernment, and deep reflection." -Teresa Blythe
What to expect during a typical spiritual direction session:
  • our monthly 60-minute meetings often begin with a time of contemplative silence, followed by sharing and exploration around the presence of the sacred in the directee's life.
  • Drawing on the Celtic spiritual practices of her ancestors, Catherine includes a range of modalities in her practice, as appropriate to the unique needs and preferences of the directee:
    • nature
    • photography
    • lectio divina
    • poetry
    • narrative and metaphor
    • embodied spirituality, such as contemplative movement and the interior movements of the heart
Through this process of sacred listening, you can expect to:
  • deepen your experience of the sacred in everyday life
  • deepen your relationship with the divine, with your deepest self, and with others
  • identify themes in your life that will help you to live from your deepest spiritual identity
  • grow to trust your inherent inner wisdom
  • connect with God/the sacred in new and renewed ways​​

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis, all moments are key moments and life itself is grace. ​-Frederick Buechner
