What is Spiritual Direction and what will people get in the realm of Spiritual Formation and Direction at Kolibri?

Spiritual Direction can sound like an odd term. Maybe even intimidating. The Code of Ethics for Spiritual Directors states, “Directors do not have their own agendas and expectations for directees – other than the broad goal of a closer walk with God – but seek with each person to discern God’s unique and sacred plan in that person’s life.”

Clearing the Clutter is what I like to call it!  As the oldest of 5 children and now as a mother to 5 kids, mess doesn’t bother me!  It feels like “home” actually.  I love to search for God in the clutter and brokenness of life.  

God is always calling – it’s all the other voices that compete for our listening that make it hard to hear. 

People come to spiritual direction for many reasons.  Some come to find God.  Some come to discern a major decision in life. Some are confused about spirituality in general, and some just feel that there is some purpose greater than what they are currently living for and want some guidance as they navigate those thoughts and feelings.  

Spiritual direction is a safe place to search, question, be confused and disagree with God’s action (or perceived inaction!) in your life. We will use time-tested “ways” like mindfulness, contemplative prayer, and silent listening to discern what God is saying, doing, and calling us to.  

Simply put, spiritual direction and formation gives us a place where I can be present with you as you look and listen for God.  If you would like to learn more about this sacred practice, please click the link below to schedule a consultation.
