Finding a spiritual director
I am one of many spiritual directors around the world. Do consider what you are looking for in a spiritual director. You will naturally want to know who it is you’re connecting with and clarify what it is you will be engaging in. If you have any specific questions — do ask. And consider for yourself what your desires are as you seek out spiritual direction.
It could be that my location or availability means that you would benefit from seeking out other options for spiritual accompaniment. Websites and online directories can obviously be helpful in your search (hence this site!). And of course nothing can beat a personal recommendation, so consider if anyone in your community has recommendations.

Resources: signposting
As we engage in the spiritual life, there are a rich heritage of practices to draw on: from prayer and meditation, silence and solitude, to communal practices of service, worship and generosity.
There is now a wealth of resources available concerning practices, prayer and formation. I am thankful for places providing rich resources for prayer and formation, such as: Renovaré, the Prayer-Course’s Toolshed, Into-deeper-waters, as well as the places that encourage us to regularly engage in prayer through each day, like: Sacred-Space, Celtic Daily Prayer, Lectio-365 and Pray-as-you-go. Perhaps there’s somethings there for you to explore.
