What is Spiritual Direction?
Simply explained Spiritual Direction could be described as "the art of spiritual direction lies in our uncovering the obvious in our lives and realising that everyday events are the means by which God tries to reach us." Alan Jones.
Spiritual Direction can have many faces but always it is a journey, with a companion, guide or spiritual director walking alongside the directee and helping them to "notice" and discover more on their journey with God. "It is about hospitality, teaching and midwifery", says Margaret Guenther in Holy Listening - The Art of Spirtual Direction. It is always confidential and offered in a safe and respectful way.
