Additional Session Information

Spiritual Direction:   

A one-hour session typically begins with a brief liturgy, prayer, and silence followed by an open listening space for the directee to share his/her present story. As a ministry of discernment, the spiritual director will ask questions and make observations to help the directee discover and discern the Holy Spirit’s presence in current life circumstances. The session ends with discernment of the invitations God is presenting and a closing prayer time. Typically, spiritual direction sessions occur once each month. 


Group Spiritual Direction:  

Small groups of 2-3 people/hour who share life, companion each other as active listeners, witnessing and honoring each other's sacred stories. The spiritual director typically begins with a contemplative practice, followed by silence and prayer, and each honored guest is given time to freely share while others hospitably listen. After each story space, a spiritual direction question is offered, and prayer by a fellow companion, followed by the next story and so on. At the end of the session, participants discern the Holy Spirit’s invitation as a group.


Ignatian Spiritual Direction:  

18th Annotation: One-hour session/week with daily prayerful scripture readings and journaling companioned by the spiritual director through the Ignatian Exercises for 10-12 weeks. This can also be done as a small group of 2-3 people.


19th Annotation: One-hour session/week with daily prayerful scripture readings and journaling companioned individually by the spiritual director through the Ignatian Exercises for 32-36 weeks.


20th Annotation: An intensive month-long retreat in residence completing the Ignatian Exercises within a Benedictine framework to develop a Rule of Life experientially. Not offered at this time….but hopefully soon!


Pastoral Counseling/Care:   

The format put forth by the IAOCC includes an intake process, homework to describe and express personal problematic issues, validation of experiences, responsibility for actions/consequences/realistic change, problem-solving/conflict resolution strategy processing with biblical principles, and a plan for empowerment for change. Aftercare will be recommended following six weekly one-hour sessions (ex: referrals for licensed professional counseling, spiritual direction, recovery groups etc.).

All sessions are offered either in person or on skype/facetime/zoom, accommodating U.S. and international time zones, primarily on Thursdays between 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.. Occasional scheduling accommodations can be made. Contact me for availability.
