Listening deeply to another person, listening for God in their life, is a holy endeavor.


Susan Rose

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is an ongoing relationship where two people sit together in God’s presence. The director and directee listen together to what God is doing in the directee's life. 


God is the real "Director” in this sacred space.


 We don’t try to come up with solutions to the struggles a directee experiences, but to listen to God’s communication with them in the midst of the struggles.   


 During the Covid lock downs and while writing her dissertation, Susan began training as a Spiritual Director. In spring of 2022, Susan graduated as a Spiritual Director from the Companioning Center.   

Spiritual Direction Is...

Sacred Listening

In the Midst of Life

In the Midst of Life

The art of sacred listening in spiritual direction nurtures and sustains soul-tending. 

It is different from problem-focused pastoral counseling, goal setting in coaching or mentoring, and teaching through discipleship.

In the Midst of Life

In the Midst of Life

In today's fast-paced world, our souls often become overlooked. The sacred practice of spiritual direction offers a gentle invitation to pause and attend to the deeper currents that shape our spiritual journey. 

For a Thriving Soul

In the Midst of Life

For a Thriving Soul

When we listen attentively to our inner life, we deepen our relationship with the divine. Attending to our own spiritual care allows our souls to thrive. 

Certification

Susan is a Certified Spiritual Director.

In spring of 2022, Susan completed her training with The Companioning Center to become a certified spiritual director.
