“The more you come to know yourself -spirit, mind & body- as truly loved,
the freer you will be to proclaim the Good News.
”

― Henri Nouwen


Request for Spiritual Direction 

The Ignatian Spiritual Life Center has been working with professional spiritual directors for many years. If you are interested in receiving direction from a qualified professional, please fill out the form below. Within a week, you will receive a message from Grace Salceanu, the Director of the Ignatian Spiritual Life Center, offering you 2 referrals. You will then follow up directly with the spiritual directors to learn about hourly fees, set up an initial meeting and discern which director is the better fit for you.

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual directors are not therapists, psychologists or psychiatrists. A spiritual director is a companion in the Lord who has been professionally trained to help you be attentive to the movements of the Holy Spirit in your life. Because God works so quietly and because the world is so loud, it can be easy to miss the specific ways God is extending love and companionship in your daily life. Time with a spiritual director provides you the space to notice, reflect upon and savor how God works in your everyday life and in the world around you.

William A. Barry, SJ and William J. Connolly SJ explain spiritual direction as“help given by one Christian to another which enables that person to pay attention to God’s personal communication to him or her, to respond to this personally communicating God, to grow in intimacy with this God, and to live out the consequences of this relationship” (from The Practice of Spiritual Direction).

If you haven't had spiritual direction, we encourage you to try it. It can have a far-reaching and long-lasting impact on your faith life, greatly deepening your relationship with God.  ​
