Spiritual Direction, 1 Hr Session, Remote

"Spiritual direction is an ancient form of Christian soul care that goes back to the earliest days of the church...In its classical form, spiritual direction is as one-on-one relationship organized around prayer and conversation directed towards deepening intimacy with God. Spiritual directors are not experts, nor do they direct. They do not follow a standardized curriculum, or implement a prepackaged program. Rather, they journey with others who, like themselves, are committed to the process of spiritual transformation...." - David Benner, Sacred Companions: The Gift of Spiritual Friendship and Direction, pg 17)

Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship where you learn to listen to where you are on your spiritual journey, and you learn how to awaken your inner and outer self to the Mystery who accompanies you. It is a space where you learn how to listen to and talk about your sacred story and how your story is a part of the greater Story. Spiritual direction sessions may focus on different spiritual practices to help you listen to what the Divine is saying to you, but this is not always the case for everyone. A person may only need one session while some may want to schedule several sessions over a period of time.

Nicole offers these one hour remote sessions to everyone, regardless of how you identify spiritually or religiously. She is an ordained Presbyterian pastor with a Master's from Princeton Seminary. She is also a Board Certified Chaplain with the APC and has almost two decades of chaplaincy and spiritual direction experience. Nicole specializes in working with people who used to identify as Christian, but because of traumatic experiences, no longer feel that they fit with their previous Christian church and are not sure what they believe, or where they fit, now. These sessions are not about evangelizing, preaching, or Nicole sharing her story or her agenda. These sessions are about you - what is the Divine Mystery saying in your life, and how can you live in such a way that is peaceful and loving towards yourself and others? How can you use your understanding of the Divine to care for yourself, your community, and Mother Earth? If you identify as an atheist or agnostic and want to try spiritual direction, you are invited to do so. If "Higher Power" language makes you uncomfortable, Nicole will work with you to find language that is comfortable and in line with your values and beliefs.
