Spiritual Direction
Offering companionship and presence as you engage your life and spiritual journey
Sometimes life leaves us reeling, whether from something like a health crisis, shifting relationships, or unexpected change. In the fallout, we may begin to wonder about ourselves, God, and the purpose, meaning, or values that we once connected with. These can be lonely times, with the way forward seeming murky at best. Spiritual direction offers a place for connection, solace, and safety to be where you are, to say what needs said, and to begin to forge a path in this new, unfamiliar terrain.
Components of a Spiritual Direction Session
Slow
A spiritual direction session will follow a slower rhythm than an everyday conversation. There are pauses and times of silence that allow distractions to fall away.
Listening
The use of the word 'direction' can paint a picture of a client being given answers or told what to do. Instead, together we will listen attentively for sparks of life and God as we consider where or how to go from 'here'.
Open
Spiritual direction is a place for you to get in touch with yourself and the God who is there with you. What that looks like and how that plays out is as individual as each human being.
"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

Hi, I'm Sharlin.
I'm a certified spiritual director, trained through Fall Creek Abbey, School of Spiritual Direction. I've walked through seasons of illness, loss, grief, and disorientation and disillusionment with God, faith, and community. Through these drought-like stretches in my life, I've been deeply cared for and seen in the context of spiritual direction. I'm delighted to offer you that same kind of companionship as you seek to live vibrantly again.
Grounded in the Christian faith and seeking to follow Jesus, I welcome anyone. I am available to meet one on one, in person or online, and to serve as resident spiritual director at your retreat event.
