What does a typical spiritual direction

session look like?

While every spiritual director and spiritual direction relationship is

different, there are some commonalities.


People generally meet with a spiritual director for 1 hour once a month.

Whether held in a church, home or office, the atmosphere is quiet, safe and

inviting. A candle may be lit and a cup of tea offered.

People may choose beforehand what to discuss or allow the spiritual director to

help guide them into a time of attentiveness to God.

The time together may include silence, meditative Scripture reading,

conversation, guided prayer, etc.
