Embodied Spiritual Direction

Sliding Scale Fee available or $75 per session

In person or online (Zoom, Skype)

Spiritual direction is usually a monthly, hour long practice that is never about the life of the mind or the spirit alone! It is a process of listening together with a guide to the ways that your life in faith involves your whole being and how this life is unfolding under the influence of God’s Spirit. I call that embodied spiritual direction.
