- Each director/directee relationship is unique… calling for wisdom, discernment, creativity and flexibility.
- Spiritual direction is more art than science
- The spiritual director is not an expert, but one who journeys with.
- The spiritual director creates a place/atmosphere of safety that helps to foster the openness, honesty and vulnerability of the directee.
- The essence of spiritual direction is the directee’s deepening love of God and connection with God.
- Directees are seeking a deeper awareness of God’s presence in their lives.
