What is Spiritual Direction?

Why would I need Spiritual Direction?

• Feeling spiritually dry or in a desert place at the moment?

• Needing some help with spiritual discernment?

• Wanting to go deeper in your relationship with God but not sure how?

• Wanting to process life/ministry events in an environment that gives space for God’s voice to be heard?

• As a leader, wanting a confidential space to keep spiritually accountable?

The Australian Ecumenical Council for Spiritual Direction (AESCD) defines Spiritual Direction as “a process by which one person (the Director) journeys contemplatively with another (the pilgrim) who is seeking to discern God’s presence in the everyday experience of their life. This ministry has a long and revered history across faith traditions. The focus of this ministry is the particular relationship between God and the person seeking direction.”
