How Spiritual Direction works

We meet on Zoom for an hour about once a month; more or less frequently, depending on your needs. 

I have found that seekers’ lives can change in ways that are subtle, but very significant when they are offered a nonjudgmental, safe, and warm-hearted place to see things anew. I am committed to providing this guidance as you take the next steps on your path

Let's get in touch

We will explore together:

The work of Spiritual Direction generally focuses on one of three areas: relationship with yourself, with others, or with the Source of all. It can be very liberating to discover which of these three areas is asking for your attention at this moment in your life. 

According to Jewish tradition, each of us is born with a sacred spark inside; the goal of authentic living is to release this spark into the world.  Most of us experience occasional obstacles to living authentically; so, you and I can focus on those particular challenges, however they arise in your life.  Over time, we become more inclined to notice the sparks of the Infinite within – a bit of wisdom, a deeper understanding, a feeling of connection.

As we grow older, we all go through inevitable changes, bringing us a full measure of sorrows and joys. These transitions often stimulate a natural introspection that can be very rewarding.  Spiritual Direction is designed to support you by offering guidance and witness to this inner journey. 

For many people, the word “God” has a troubling resonance, and this may be a good place for our conversation to begin. Finding your word for the Divine is often valuable. Jewish tradition uses many synonyms for the sacred. These include: The Universe, The Source, The Beloved, The Infinite, The Eternal, The One Above, The Name, etc. Finding one that feels right is an important step in the process, and I find that the word that fits best for me changes over time.  After all, by definition, the Mystery is beyond our ability to name or describe accurately. 

People who are drawn to Spiritual Direction come from many traditions – Jewish, Christian, another spiritual path, or no spiritual path or interest in God.  All are welcome.
