Spiritual Direction Agreement

What is Spiritual Direction? 
It is a trained Spiritual Director offering their undivided attention to a Directee to look, listen and discern with them where God is moving and to notice His grace in their life. 

It’s having a companion to help you notice, listen, experience, and respond to God. In the process, you can learn to listen more attentively to God in your daily life and be used by Him in the world around you. 

This is not a counseling, a discipling, a coaching or a mentoring relationship. My role is to pray with and for you as you walk with Jesus, to ask you questions and give you space to listen to and discern the work and invitations of the Holy Spirit in your daily life.

Spiritual Director background:

I am certified Spiritual Director through the School of Spiritual Direction of Sustainable Faith. 

Confidentiality & anonymity: 

Our meetings and conversations are held in confidence. However, if you share intentions to harm yourself or someone else, I am legally bound to report the situation. You are free to share our conversations with anyone whom you choose. If we run into each other in a social situation, I’ll follow your lead to interact (or not) in whatever way feels right for you. 

My commitment to you:

I commit to grow in Christ in my own life and to continue learning and growing in ways that help me invest in your life. I commit to receiving spiritual direction for myself, as well as being accountable to a Spiritual Directors' supervisory group, to keep my heart, soul and practice whole, holy and healthy.

My expectations of you:

I ask you to honor our spiritual direction appointments or give 24-hour notice if you need to cancel. I ask that you would be intentional in your relationship with God by time with him in prayer, the Bible and a faith community.

Time:

Our time together will be about 50-60 minutes once a month.
