Spiritual Directors International
1:1 Spiritual Direction & Companionship
A spiritual director, sometimes also referred to as a spiritual guide or mentor, is a person who provides guidance and support to individuals seeking to deepen their spiritual life or explore matters of faith and meaning. They are trained professionals or experienced individuals who assist others on their spiritual journey. The role of a spiritual director is to listen, accompany, and offer insight to the person seeking guidance. They create a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their spiritual beliefs, experiences, and questions.
