May Reflection
Listen to Remember

We recently received a bunch of snow. This late storm helped us remember what winter is supposed to be like, and, of course, we’re very grateful for the moisture. Spring time should be a time for moisture, for growth and emergence of those that have been dormant or waiting for germination throughout the winter. We are in a waning moon, with a new moon rising in a couple of weeks.
Our cycle of spiritual growth and retraction and regrowth follows the cycle of the seasons, the earth and the moon. Spring has its festivals of rebirth, resurrection and, in Judaism, liberation and redemption. It is a time of remembering that we are welcomed into Divine companionship if we call and listen to the call. [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.
