January Reflection
A Time to Nurture Our Souls
Catharyn Baird
SDCO Guiding Circle Member
As the days slowly get longer, this season of darkness is a perfect time to slow down and nurture ourselves and others. During the winter, the ground rests, being replenished for the next growing season. We, too, can use this quiet time to disconnect from the noise of the world and replenish our souls.
One time honored means of regeneration is adding some reading or meditation time back into our schedule. I find that between Thanksgiving and the New Year, my spiritual practices languish as my life seems to get ever more frantic. The tradition of New Year’s resolutions provide a wonderful opportunity of adding back time into my schedule to reflect and recalibrate. [More]
What Does Spirituality Mean to Us?
Spirituality has to do with the spirit as in the essence of being human – your soul or your inner life. It is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Spirituality can be about a journey of transforming our spiritual, psychological and somatic aspects of ourselves to become more our true selves, who are created in the image of God. Click Here

Finding a Spiritual Director
The Spiritual Director journeys with you as you deepen your relationship with God. The journey takes place in the context of a confidential session with your Spiritual Director. The person coming for Spiritual Direction is trying to be serious about some form of intentional prayer and reflection on God's presence in everyday life. The Director is a facilitator, with God, Spirit, or Higher Power being the true Director.
Spiritual Direction Colorado is pleased to provide a list of Spiritual Directors as a resource to people throughout the state of Colorado and beyond.
