Spiritual Direction
spiritual direction is the partnered exploration of the depthful places of soul and self
noticing how the Divine is working, moving and meeting you in those places.
together we dive into the question ‘what needs to be explored?’
life is confusing 99.9% of the time. i can’t guarantee that i’ll have all the answers or any answers at all but i would love to sit with you as we unwind the happenings of life to see what might be triggering, the patterns that might be replaying or the beliefs that are keeping you from where and who you want to be. this life journey is hard enough and you shouldn’t have to do it alone.
What it looks like
hour long sessions as often as needed to explore whatever is pressing at the moment be it a huge life change, a conversation you can’t quite shake or musings about shifting beliefs you don’t really have space to talk about
sessions are informal and guided by your comfortability so that you feel safe in your exploration
you get to bring whatever it is you want to explore, we will ask questions around it, try different imaginative practices to gain new perspective and tap into intuition or spirit in order to move toward clarity and understanding
what we explore
anything from wanting to hear from the Divine to processing and releasing trauma
looking at what you’ve been told to believe and sifting through what’s working and what’s not and reconstructing what is true and good
breaking down barriers that might be hindering you from living your truer and wilder life
nothing is too big or too simple*

erinn’s experience
i started my journey with spiritual direction around eight years ago. i was absolutely skeptical of the process because it was so foreign to me and my upbringing. it turned out to be the most tender, gentle and life altering space. through the use of imagination, honesty and the spiritual disciplines, i started to examine places where the Divine wanted to show me who they really are that i had misunderstood. direction has been a place of deeper learning of self. it is a place of curiosity and exploration where pretty quickly i had to learn to leave judgement at the door for it to have any impact. it is the one space where i can truly let go, let down and just be, whatever that looks like in those moments. it’s a place that has brought about stillness, calm, joy and understanding. i have learned more about who i am, what i believe and how i interact with the world in the direction space than i have anywhere else. everything has been dismantled and assessed. i have learned how to trust myself and my decisions, know my worth and value and have seen how the uncovering of those things bleeds into how i interact in the world.
it is a space that allows for a deeper connection to listen to what might be unheard before. unlike counseling, there is no plan or “fixing it” because there’s nothing to fix, simply things to notice and adjust if needed. each session, each human, is different so the space looks different for different people. we may sit with the same topic for months or we might jump from one to another and maybe along the way see that they are intertwined somehow. it is always an adventure and it is always worth it.
