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.
