BENEDICTINE RETREAT & CONFERENCE CENTER
Spiritual Direction

Introduction

Spiritual directors create a non-judgemental 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.

Direction Fee

The direction fee is 60.00 an hour. Assistance available.

Waiting List for Group Spiritual Direction

Our directors are able to provide group direction for six people at a time, using two-hour sessions at a cost 30.00 per person. Contact Sam Rahberg with interest and a new group will begin with six individuals.
