BENEDICTINE RETREAT & CONFERENCE CENTER
Spiritual Direction
Introduction
Spiritual directors create a non-judgmental environment for honest sharing about spiritual matters. They help others see God working in everyday life. They can help one choose resources, pray, and learn how to meditate.
There are no set number of meetings for spiritual direction or a need to commit to a certain length of time. You and your director determine how this ancient practice can best be helpful to you.
Call 651.777.7251 or email Sam Rahberg to be connected with a spiritual director for a brief conversation to see if spiritual direction is right for you.
Direction Fee
The direction fee is 60.00 an hour. Assistance available.
Waiting List for
Group Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Directors are available to provide group direction for six people at a time, using two-hour sessions at a cost 35.00 per person. Contact Sam Rahberg with interest and a new group will begin with four to six individuals. |
