Spiritual Direction

If you want to develop a more meaningful spiritual or religious life, you may find a one-on-one relationship with a trained spiritual director beneficial. Spiritual direction creates a space for you to honestly evaluate your life, seek the meaning behind important decisions about the future and find a pathway to better understand 对于你,上帝是谁?对于上帝,你又是谁.

This process can be helpful whether you want to further develop a prayerful relationship 或者如果你在信仰上挣扎,需要鼓励.

The time spent in spiritual direction is unique to you, but a typical session lasts 大约45-60分钟,一个月一次. 上帝在万物中工作,所以 分享是没有限制的. 导演会听你的,然后一起, 你要寻求神在你生命中的作为.

Some directors may charge a small fee, so discussing this before meeting is best.

Find a Spiritual Director

Please note: Some spiritual directors are trained pastoral or psychological counselors, but problem-solving or therapy is not the focus. 精神指导关系的焦点是你自己 experience of God. 治疗咨询可通过大学咨询 at 314-977-8255.
