Individual Spiritual Direction

"True spiritual direction is about the great unfixables in human life. It's about the mystery of moving through time. It's about mortality. It's about love. It's about things that can't be fixed."

- Alan Jones in the preface to Margaret Guenther's Holy Listening

In individual spiritual direction the director and directee meet once a month for an hour. The director is walking alongside the directee in their spiritual journey, listening, encouraging and praying. The intent of spiritual direction is to bear witness and reflect back moves of the spirit in the individual.

$125/hr

19th Annotation Retreat

The Spiritual Exercises in Everyday life

Ignatius of Loyola wrote the Spiritual Exercises in the 1500’s, and they are still relevant today, offering a way to grow stronger in faith and relationship with God. The spiritual exercises were written to be given on a 30 day silent directed retreat.  But, because most lay people cannot get away for this length of time, Ignatius added the 19th Annotation which allows the Exercises to be given in daily life over a 9 month period. The Spiritual Exercises (19th Annotation) use scripture in daily prayer to draw a person deeper into relationship with Jesus and to journey with Him through His life.

Entering into the Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life has a time commitment daily of:

  • 1 hr a day in prayer (in meditation and in contemplation, entering the gospel scene)

  • 15 minutes journaling

  • 15 minutes Examen (a way to prayerfully reflect on the events of the day in order to see God’s presence & discern his direction for us)

  • 1 1/2 hour weekly session to go over the past weeks prayer with a spiritual director trained in offering the exercises.

The retreat in daily life begins in August and ends in May. For more information contact me here.

$125/week or $4,500 for the year


Silent Retreats

A directed silent retreat is an opportunity to take time away from the noise and distraction of everyday life, to rest and listen for God. The retreatant will meet with a spiritual director to process times of prayer and to mutually discern the movements of the Holy Spirit, what is coming up in prayer and in relationship with God. Retreats take place in a beautiful home in the mountains of Monteagle, Tennessee.
