What Spiritual Direction is not:
- It is not giving advice
- It does not give answers as much as ask questions
- It is not accountability but accompaniment
- Not problem solving but compassionate listening
- Not teaching but guiding
- Not a place for managing sin, or talking theology, but rather cultivating an awareness of God’s activity within us.
- Spiritual Directors are not mediators between God and man, but rather facilitators who help someone hear from God themselves.
What can I expect from Spiritual Direction with Dawn?
I aim to offer a safe place, without judgment, as I journey alongside you as a spiritual companion. I desire to help you become more attuned to God’s presence in your life. There is no set agenda outside of a growing awareness of the Spirit of God in the day in and day out aspects of your life. The hope is to foster a deeper capacity of what it means to hear from God, to love others more, and to listen to God’s calling on your life. This will happen through conversation, meditating and listening as thoughts and hearts are focused on Divine presence.
While I have a masters in counseling and many years of experience as a therapist, this will not be therapy even though I believe this can be in nature very therapeutic and transformative.
Usually people meet once a month for spiritual direction
