We exist to help people find hope-filled, integrated lives.
Your journey toward flourishing starts here.
Spiritual Direction
Vernon believes the aim in spiritual direction is to be someone who can come alongside of you to listen, pray, discern, and help get practical traction forward in your life with Jesus. Spiritual direction is a centuries long tradition among those who walk with Jesus. We all need people to journey with us to help provide ways for practically living out our faith. The aim in spiritual direction at Integrate is for people to live flourishing lives of courage, compassion, and curiosity, in every day life.
Spiritual direction is not professional counseling, although there are profound benefits to professional counseling and it is highly recommended. Many times people will choose to even combine counseling and spiritual direction.
Henri Nouwen defined spiritual direction as, “A relationship initiated by a spiritual seeker who finds a mature person of faith willing to pray and respond with wisdom and understanding to his or her questions about how to live spiritually in a world of ambiguity and distraction.” Nouwen goes on to say, “The goal of spiritual direction is spiritual formation—the ever-increasing capacity to live a spiritual life from the heart.”
Spiritual Direction can be scheduled weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or as-needed sessions to help you navigate the complexities of life through a spiritual lens.
Coaching will be scheduled with an intro session to see what your hopes are and then we can schedule weekly, monthly, bi-montly, or as-needed sessions.
