Throughout my life, getting to know God and listening to others has been a part of who I am. I have a background in Life Coaching through the AACC and also enjoyed going through Selah, a two year spiritual direction certificate program through Leadership Transformations. It's a joy for me to companion people on their personal journey with Jesus; watching and responding to His loving invitations! When I'm not providing spiritual direction I love savoring quality ice cream, being out in nature, and spending time with my husband and four beautiful children.

Spiritual direction is a way for me to share the hospitality of a quiet place for reflection and restoration in God’s presence. I look to Christ Jesus for guidance from his Holy Spirit and to the Bible to shape spiritual conversation and prayer. I served as a missionary in Asia with my husband of 39 years and raised our 3 children overseas; thus I have special interest in the issues that arise in cross-cultural living and work. I have degrees from Wheaton College, Fuller Theological Seminary, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and was trained in spiritual direction through the Listen course created by Andrea Bliss-Lerman.

As a pastor, I developed people and organizations through teaching, preaching, organizing, writing, motivating, and listening. I have a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell. I began offering spiritual direction in 2010 while working on Leadership Transformations’ Selah Program. I completed the program in 2012. I have a keen interest in the arts, especially the works of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. My wife, Judi, and I live in Quincy, MA. We have two married sons and five grandchildren.

Trained through the Spiritual Directors Internship Initiative program, I have been offering spiritual direction since 2005. In the peace, calm and safety of our sessions, we reflect on your relationship with God. How has God been moving to heal you, help you, love you, guide you? In the weeks between our sessions, you are likely to notice God’s presence and invitations to you more and more. As an ordained priest in the Anglican Diocese in New England, I am evangelical, liturgical, and charismatic. I am available to lead retreats on how to “dialogue with God” using various art materials, nature walks and journaling.

I serve as the Prayer and Outreach Minister at Free Christian Church, and have been meeting with women for Spiritual Direction since 2010. I trained with Andrea Lerman and now meet with women in my office at the church. My vision for Spiritual Direction flows out of Mary’s visit to Elizabeth and I seek to offer a safe space, for people to share the things of God and listen to what the Holy Spirit might say to them. I live in Andover with my husband David and three children.

Trained in Art and Ignatian Inspired Spiritual Direction, I journey with people to explore, contemplate, and listen for the places where God is moving. We explore creative ways to listen to Gods small voice as the Holy Spirit leads our Holy Conversations. Located in Magnolia, a section of Gloucester, the ocean is a great backdrop to engage the senses as we explore God with us. I have been trained by the Spiritual Direction Internship Initiative Program and Studied at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and I am a big fan of St. Francis and Clare of Assisi. I am available for Art led directed retreats in addition to Spiritual Direction both in person and online.

After ministering to refugees in London, UK, and as a Christian Education Director in Worcester, I’m honored to find a vocational home in spiritual direction and the pastorate. I am the part-time settled pastor of Central Baptist Church, Southbridge, and founder and director of The Pilgrimage, an online spiritual direction and formation ministry. Through the Pilgrimage, I provide group spiritual formation classes and individual spiritual direction. I have a particular interest in being a listening ear for those wrestling with their place in the American church and/or on the verge or in process of spiritual deconstruction. I offer spiritual direction via Zoom or FaceTime.

“Take off your shoes, for this is holy ground.” This is how it feels in direction as I walk alongside others and watch them discover that God has been present with them all along. Even pain and doubt can be redeemed as we let God weave our messy threads into something of beauty. I earned my certificate in spiritual direction in 2013 from LTi's Selah Program. I enjoy spending time in nature, cooking, and singing in the choir at St. Mark’s Episcopal in Southborough, where I offer direction. I am married with three adult children and a grandson, with whom I enjoy doing anything or nothing at all. I offer direction online, as well as guided contemplative retreats.

I value spiritual direction as a ministry of spacious hospitality—graced in time, in place, in heart and soul, and in the loving presence of our Trinitarian God. I have been offering direction and leading retreats for over 20 years, and in the past several years I’ve enjoyed training others to do the same through Leadership Transformations’ Selah Program. I have a particular heart for working with ministry leaders, and for encouraging the place of direction in the wider supportive context of the ministry of the local church. My own training was through CFDM’s Pacific Northwest program.

I have been fascinated by people’s God stories since childhood, and delight in hearing them and looking with others for the fingerprints of God on their lives. I received my training as a spiritual director from School of Spiritual Direction (Sustainable Faith) and am also an ordained minister, serving a church in Boston’s western suburbs. I received my M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. I am happy to meet with people in person or via Skype.

I have spent over thirty years in the healthcare industry, as a clinician and an educator, a leader and a subordinate, and am a wife and a parent of two young adults on the autism spectrum. Yet God has led me to walk alongside others in His name through Spiritual Guides Ministry and through my certification in Spiritual Direction at the PAX Center. I am involved in disability ministry and have a special heart for those experiencing Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families but joyfully work with any whom God has called. As a spiritual companion I want you to experience God’s grace more deeply as He works in and through you, in all of your conditions and all of your days.

Being a Pastor and a Spiritual Director fit together like a hand and glove, helping others to grow both in their knowledge and experience of God. By God’s grace, I have been a practicing director for 11 years, (including accompanying people through the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises). I have earned a Doctorate from GCTS and a certificate from the Selah School of Spiritual Direction. I am happy to meet with people in person or via Skype/FaceTime.

It is a privilege to companion someone, and witness God’s presence in their life; whether it’s a joyful “aha” moment, or deep and silent pondering in pain, God reveals himself in mysterious and beautiful ways. I have received spiritual direction since 2010, and completed my training in 2015 through the Holy Conversations course, in the Anglican Diocese in New England. I offer direction in Hamilton (and surrounding towns). I’m married and have two school-aged children. Contributing member of eNE Guidance Team.

After many years serving on the prayer teams and as a Women’s minister in various churches, I completed a two-year Spiritual Direction training through the PAX Center for Spiritual Formation. I thoroughly enjoy walking alongside men and women who want to go further in their walk with God. My desire is to provide others with a safe space to listen to their hearts’ desires, hear from the Holy Spirit and grow in their spiritual formation.

Having lost faith and 25 years later finding Christ again, I also discovered the beauty of prayer, personal conversations and silence with him. To accomplish my need for deep communion with Christ, I studied Spiritual Direction with the Sisters of St. Francis, in Lowell, where I also live. This was invaluable for my search. I am Evangelical and a member of Grace Chapel where I co-facilitate several Spiritual Direction groups, serve as a Stephen Minister and as a small-group leader at Grace’s Women’s Bible studies. I also minister in prison, and have served in homeless outreach.

What I love about Spiritual Direction is the opportunity to companion with others as they desire to encounter Jesus’ love in transformative ways. I desire to be a presence that opens the door for others to meet with and hear from the Holy Spirit, the true Spiritual Director of our lives. I have the joy of ministering as the Care Pastor at Faith Fellowship Church in Uxbridge, MA and at home as a husband and father of two young boys. My training includes a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Zion Bible College, a Masters of Divinity from Ashland Theological Seminary with a concentration in Spiritual Formation, and the completion of a two-year training cohort in Spiritual Direction through The PAX Center of Spiritual Formation.

It is a privilege to accompany people as they attend to their life with God, Christ's work, and the Holy Spirit's leading and then discover greater freedom, peace, and joy! After seminary at Gordon-Conwell, I served as a campus minister for several years. I later pursued a certificate in Spiritual Direction from the PAX Center for Christian Spiritual Formation. I currently work as a minister of spiritual formation for Intervarsity New England. A few areas that I am passionate about include emotional/mental health, preventing ministry burnout, and being part of a global, diverse Church. I have a special place in my heart for cross-cultural workers and those experiencing burnout in ministry. I am available to lead retreats and offer spiritual direction in person or online.

I have experienced the joys and frustrations of ministry and benefited so much from spiritual direction myself. I want to pass that on by helping other Christians draw closer and develop their ability to listen to God, so they can increasingly live lives centered on and responsive to the One who knows and loves them best. I completed direction training through PAX, have my Masters in Spiritual Formation, and have training and experience in healing prayer. Married with three young adult children, I enjoy backpacking and other outdoor activities, travelling, and music. Also accepting some directees in Vermont.

I am an Anglican priest and Canon (assistant to the bishop) for Spiritual Formation for the Anglican Diocese in New England, offices in Amesbury, MA. I meet with individual directees, as well as teach a two-year spiritual director training program. My own training was completed at the Shalem Institute in 1996. I have an M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Seminary. With my husband and our four daughters I lived for seven years in Orvieto, Italy. Over the past twelve I have been bringing spiritual direction retreat groups to Italy, focusing on saints of the Umbria region, including Francis, Clare and Benedict.

I have been engaged in ministry to individuals since I became a college student in 1965 and joined IVCF.  I studied at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary & Virginia Theological Seminary. I served four parishes in the Episcopal Church, from 1982-2009.  In every year since I was graduated from college, I have had at least one person whom I was mentoring as a growing Christian.  Upon retirement I joined the Anglican Church of North America in order to be in a Bible and Christ centered denomination. I was trained in spiritual direction through a two-year program (under Rev. Susan Skillen) of the Anglican Diocese in New England. My wife, Mary, and I have two married children and seven grandchildren.

I received my certificate in spiritual direction in 2006 through the Listen Course. I offer direction in Essex and Cambridge. I value direction as a place of prayerful listening in the context of a welcoming and nurturing environment. My heart is eager to draw attention to Godʼs transforming love for you, and to invite you to give voice to those experiences that draw you into a conscious intimacy with God. I received my Masters in Spiritual Formation from Spring Arbor University and I am the Founder of PAX Center for Christian Spiritual Formation (www.paxcenter.org). I am married with two daughters.
