"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)."
Kenton Smith
The art of spiritual direction is to help each of us discover more of God's life in our life.

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.
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.
