A typical meeting takes place for an hour once a month, one-on-one, during which we discuss what seems most important or pertinent to you. The meeting begins with a brief hello, followed by praying for the session. A director allows time for you to settle in and slow your thoughts and breathing. We are entering into sacred space. When you are ready, you may begin speaking. If this is new to you, a spiritual director might ask questions like:

• What seems significant to talk about?
• What things have been life-giving to you lately?
• What do you want or need from God?
• What has been troubling you lately?

Every spiritual director is different, and each brings their own unique approach to meeting with people. In a typical session, you will do the bulk of the talking, while the director (me) is listening to you while also listening for the Holy Spirit’s promptings to ask questions, offer an idea, or just hold space for God to speak. While a director may sometimes offer suggestions or introduce a concept, the primary role for me is to offer sacred space to explore longings, desires, questions, fears and joys.

These questions don’t have a right or wrong answers. They are tools to give your director insight into your spiritual journey, past and present.

Your director will likely pray to open and/or close the session. They will likely leave the next meeting up to you to schedule.
