What does a Spiritual Direction session look like?
If you have never experienced Spiritual Direction, you may wonder how it works. Every session is unique to you, but there is a general structure that most sessions follow.
We begin at the beginning
I will usually start with a short reading, a poem, or a scripture to guide our conversation. This is followed by a period of intentional silence lasting for as long as you would like.
And move to the center
This time is yours. When you are ready, you can break the period of silence and share. If you want to use the opening reading as a springboard for your conversation, feel free. If you want to talk about what's on your mind, that is good, too! Let the Spirit guide you. There is no wrong answer.
Gently emerging into the present
I will keep time for you and gently bring our conversation to a close after about 45 minutes. I may ask some questions or offer reflections on our time together.
We will close our time together with another reading, a blessing, or a prayer.
