Contemplative Resources

Despite popular beliefs, the journey through life was not designed to be solo.  Through all the ups and downs, the twists and turns, the bright patches and shadows, you need not journey alone.  Spiritual Direction is the simple gift of a companion’s presence that offers you the gentle and tenacious encouragement to become more aware of God’s loving presence and to co-discern God’s activity in every aspect of your life.  The focus is on spending a designated amount of time with an intentional spiritual companion who will engage their training to prayerfully journey with you through dialogue, listening, asking questions, experiencing quiet moments, reflecting and more… all in the way of Jesus.

As Selah, we strongly encourage personal and/or group spiritual direction and are glad to suggest various spiritual directors.  If you are looking for a spiritual director or are interested in exploring the possibility of spiritual direction, please Contact us and we will be glad to talk further with you.  Typically, spiritual directors are available to meet once a month, but as often as you deem necessary. Often a fee is suggested in consultation with you, usually based on a sliding scale according to your unique circumstances.  Further details are decided directly between you and the spiritual director of your choice.
