Your day is filled solid. Classes, exams, practices, meetings. . . oh yeah, eating. Yet, there are cracks in the surface, moments that remind you that there is more, that this is but a moment. Come join us in the space between. We are friends who support the life of the spirit and listen attentively for divine call.

Spiritual Direction
