Eleanor Whitney
​I seek to create a space where, together, we will watch for the movement of God & listen for ways to live more deeply in to God’s invitation.​
Brooke Maffia Wang
Life is beautiful and heartbreaking. I offer my gentle, loving presence & thoughtful questions while attending to the Spirit within both of us.
Erik Swanson
One of the deepest experiences of my life is knowing the blessing of journeying with people as they seek a deeper intimacy with God.
Sharon Wada
​​I aim to foster self-discovery and deepening awareness of God in everyday life and ministry.  Together we will listen and discern how God is speaking and leading.
Stacey Charonnat
I love to listen deeply to people’s heartfelt stories and stirrings and to discover together how
God might be inviting them to respond.
Melinda Athey
"And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home (Wendell Berry)."
Susan Rowland
I see direction as a gentle spiritual treasure hunt.  The patient search for where God is at work in an individual, bringing life and meaning through use of unique gifts and talents. Not only for the joy of the directee but for the world’s sake as well.
Jim Peterson
My goal as director is to foster the directee’s increasing awareness of God’s Presence and growing response to God’s love and invitations.
Savoy Stevens
I approach direction sessions with curiosity and acceptance, listening deeply for the resonance of the Divine in the grit of everyday life.
Don Ferris
I use the contemplative model of direction, assisting the directee in listening for the movements of the Spirit and discern the movements of their own hearts.
Linda Taylor
Listening deeply to give support, guidance and presence as people give birth to deeper awareness of God’s grace and love.
Diane Pate
​In spiritual direction I seek to offer a quiet space of listening and conversation to allow the Spirit to invite the directee into an ever deeper rhythm of life with God.
Patti Yukawa
I consider it an honor to listen with the Holy Spirit while guiding others along their spiritual journey to a deeper awareness of God’s loving presence in their daily lives.
Barbara Milligan
I love helping fellow travelers explore the stirrings in their souls and develop a greater capacity to receive more of God’s love.
Kenton Smith
The art of spiritual direction is to help each of us discover more of God's life in our life.
Russ Ikeda
Russ offers an easy pace and a safe place for conversation that allows an individual to notice God’s activity in his/her every day life.
Louise McClelland
​My prayer for my clients is to sense God’s pleasure in all you do, to participate in God’s redemption of what may be broken and lost, to experience joy and peace in ways you never have before.
John Hanneman
I delight in creating a space where people can notice God’s movements in their lives and hear his voice speaking in a personal way.
