Spiritual Direction with Rev. Barbara F. Meyers

Spiritual Direction

A spiritual director is a companion on your life’s spiritual journey, asking questions and listening as you uncover what you find as most sacred, as you discern your life’s meaning, supporting you along the way. Interfaith spiritual direction means we are open to explore the many gifts and blessings of the wisdom teachings of the world’s faith traditions.

Spiritual Practice

Regular spiritual practice is important to growing close to what is sacred. The form it takes differs from person to person: meditation, prayer, Yoga, Tai Chi, mindfulness, music, artistic expression, being in nature are some examples. A spiritual director can help you find what works for you.
