Spiritual Accompaniment

Supporting individuals on their faith journey

Spiritual direction is a sacred space where you are invited to pause, listen, and become more attentive to the movement of God in your life. It is not about giving answers, but about walking alongside you as you explore your faith, your questions, and your longings.

In the presence of a compassionate listener, you are encouraged to notice how God is speaking in the ordinary and extraordinary moments of your journey. Together, we seek greater clarity, peace, and connection with the divine, knowing that God meets you exactly where you are.

Our spiritual direction is open to anyone—whether you are grounded in a particular tradition, searching for deeper meaning, or simply curious about God’s presence in your life.

Faith is a journey, and none of us are meant to walk it alone. Spiritual direction offers a supportive space to reflect, pray, and grow in awareness of God’s presence.

We don’t have quick solutions, but we will listen deeply and accompanying you as you discover where God may be leading. It’s a time to bring your joys, struggles, questions, and hopes—and to notice how grace is unfolding in your life.

No matter where you are on your spiritual path, you are welcome.
