Spiritual Direction and Contemplative Healing

Our trained and certified staff and guides are ready to meet with you for spiritual direction and/or contemplative healing (what we call Rooted Prayer).

What are spiritual direction and contemplative healing, you ask? And why would you want them? Spiritual direction and contemplative healing can be practiced together or separately as you choose. Together, they contribute to your sustained spiritual wellness and the health of your soul.

SPIRITUAL direction sessions

A spiritual director or coach is a trained listener who will accompany you as you share about your spiritual journey, helping you to notice God’s presence and activity along the way, as well as your personal reactions and responses. Together, we share safe, confidential space as I listen and offer questions and spiritual practices to help you discern God’s movement in your life and live more deeply connected with the love of God. Generally, directees meet monthly-ish for one-hour sessions with a director.

CONTEMPLATIVE HEALING/rooted prayer sessions

Contemplative healing is a practice that opens safe space for you to connect with God for inner healing and restoration of the soul. Together, we journey into the high, wide, long and deep love of God that heals and restores. Opening noise-free, formula-free, shame-free space, we listen and watch together for how God wants to meet you with healing in your pain, shame or trauma. We can infuse contemplative healing as part of your practice of spiritual direction or we can meet for a series of sessions (60 minutes by zoom or 90 minutes in person) as needed focusing specifically on healing.
