What is Spiritual Direction?

Looking for Spiritual Friends?
We gather for one-day experiential retreats and workshops with prominent spiritual teachers. To go deeper, The Spiritual Journey is an eight-month program to explore your faith and learn contemplative practices in a safe, small-group setting. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we’re here to help honor your path.

Are you a Holy Listener?
Our spiritual direction formation programs are rooted in the contemplative tradition yet open to, and draw from, all forms faith and secular study. They offer a balance of communal instruction, contemplative practice, and “real play” to enhance your gifts in being spiritually present—for yourself and others.
“I believe what we do in forming people in The Art of Spiritual Direction is no less than forming peacemakers.”

It starts with the breath . . .
