Spiritual Direction Resources
Spiritual Direction Offered by Sisters of St. Joseph
What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction is the practice of being with people as they attempt to deepen their relationship with the divine. In spiritual direction space is created for one to learn and grow in their spirituality. The person seeking direction shares stories of his or her encounters of the divine, or how he or she is experiencing spiritual issues.
Spiritual direction nurtures a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. It is not counseling, psychotherapy. or financial planning. If you seek spiritual direction, the following CSJ Spiritual Directors are available to support you on your journey.

Resources for Spiritual Care Booklet
Since Wisdom Ways was created in 1994, we have worked to create a network of resources for spirituality in contemporary life and culture, and to serve and enrich theological education and spiritual opportunity. This resource booklet is a very tangible embodiment of these activities. Many people are seeking places, programs, and persons where the ongoing practice of spiritual guidance is available. Our region is rich in resources for deepening one’s spiritual life, and linking seekers with resources is the aim of this booklet.
Inclusion in this booklet is not an endorsement, nor is the list exhaustive; but we believe you will find it useful. While we have exercised care in our choices, we trust that you will use your own good judgment. In particular, read through the website for Spiritual Directors International, www.sdiworld.org, to learn the suggested guidelines to help you find a spiritual director.
