What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction encourages a person to explore a closer relationship with God. It is difficult to notice God's activity in the midst of a busy life. Yet, at the deepest level, all of us long for a more conscious experience of God's presence and love.
Spiritual direction is a process of asking the question: "Where is God in my life?" It is a process of listening to God with the help of another person who invites one to focus on the experience of God. Any aspect of life can be brought into a spiritual direction relationship:
Questions of faith and values
Prayer life
Relationships
Major decisions
Joys and sorrows
Fears
Life transitions
A spiritual director is one who is prepared through training, experience, and spiritual formation to help another person attend to their spiritual life. Not a counselor or an advisor, a director is a listener and guide who can help a person notice, discern and respond to God's invitation. The privilege and responsibility of a spiritual director is to journey with you as you deepen your relationship with God. This takes place in the context of confidential sessions, either one-on-one or in a group setting with your spiritual director. Spiritual direction meetings are one hour in length and usually occur monthly. Marnie provides direction at her home in Chanhassen, or by telephone and video calls.
Fee: $65 per one hour session with a sliding scale available.
