- All of life is fodder for spiritual insight and connection with the God in whom we live, move and have our being.
- The real work of spiritual direction is accomplished in between the sessions.
- Active listening to God, self and the directee is a critical component. (Presence and Attentiveness)
- Self-awareness of the director is a must.
- The ongoing ________ of the director is important.
- Spiritual growth
- Receiving of spiritual direction
- Receiving of supervision
- Though somewhat hierarchal in nature, the spiritual director/directee relationship is not authoritative.
- Spiritual direction is not about giving advice, disciplining, preaching, guidance, counseling or teaching.
- 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.
