April Reflection
Spring Has Sprung

Spring has sprung! By now you may have observed crocuses poking through the warming soil. Soon (if not already) we will witness trees leafing, ready to capture the sunlight; and daffodils reaching, their arm-like leaves stre-e-e-e-etching upward as in a waking yawn. Here in the northern hemisphere, as we experience this post- slumber time, we arrive, once again, to an opening to new possibilities and rebirth. The month of April, in fact, takes its name from the Latin word, “aperire”, which means “to open”.
For me this newness is thrilling. My soul warms, as I feel the scent of Spring wafting in and stirring my surroundings and my heart. Wrapped in these recurring, yet ever new moments of promise, it seems impossible NOT to open my whole being, and yet… unwelcome thoughts intrude. I have become aware of the ways I try to close myself off from these thoughts, and from Reality. [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.
