A More Enriching Journey
What is Spiritual Accompaniment or Spiritual Direction?
“Spiritual direction explores a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Simply put, spiritual direction is helping people tell their sacred stories everyday.” – Liz Budd Ellmann, MDiv
“Spiritual direction is a time-honored term for a conversation, ordinarily between two persons, in which one person consults another, more spiritually experienced person about the ways in which God may be touching her or his life, directly or indirectly.” – Marian Cowan, CSJ
What Spiritual Accompaniment or Spiritual Direction is NOT
Spiritual accompaniment or spiritual direction is neither counseling nor therapy. It is not a venue for seeking or giving advise.
In the conduct of spiritual accompaniment or spiritual direction, a safe space is formed between God and the directee, with the spiritual companion facilitating the deepening of the religious experience.

- Desire to have a deeper and more intimate relationship with God by relishing your religious experiences and sensing God’s invitation.
- Want to unpack how you sense God’s movement in your current circumstances.
