In spiritual direction, a trained listener serves as a compassionate, non-judgmental companion for the spiritual journey through reflective listening, noticing, and sacred pauses. Together, the director and directee discern and respond to the voice and active presence of the divine in order to experience greater freedom. Lindsay believes deeply in the importance of compassionately tending to our inner work so that our work in the world will be more grounded, discerning, and loving.

“Spiritual direction helps people awaken to the reality and movement of divine Love in their lives so that they may participate in Love’s restorative, transformative work in the world.”
