*Spiritual Direction- A guided conversation towards spiritual growth through cultivating a deeper awareness of where God is present in your life and story, and how you are responding.

 

This facilitated Group Spiritual Direction journey encourages us to open hearts and minds, to grow in awareness and response, to ourselves, God, and each other.  No matter what stage you are at, this process can help you to become more fully present and awakened from a place of just getting by: avoiding, distracted, or stressed, to a place of greater refreshment, clarity, and connection.

 

Through weekly creative and contemplative prompts and practices, we create space for stillness and silence, to learn to listen for where we see God at work and see His invitations within each other’s sacred stories. This can be a very meaningful and moving experience as each of us learns to listen at deeper level. The group runs with the same confidentiality as 1:1 Spiritual Direction.

Feedback

“Spiritual direction provided me with words of affirmation I was deeply in need of. Through using good prompting exercises and well-formulated questions, I was able to see that I am stronger than I think, very courageous, and that God is cheering me on as I go through life challenges and temptations. I was also encouraged by the other members of the small group that formed our weekly sessions as we bonded quickly.

If you feel stuck, or in need of a little encouragement to keep moving forward on your spiritual journey, Jane is a person you can trust to guide you gently. Her diversified life experience and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit make her a very compassionate and attentive listener, which contributes to creating a safe and warm place to share, learn, heal, and grow. I highly recommend it.”

“As a pastor who seeks to help people do the internal work necessary to grow in their spiritual awareness and practice, I regularly refer people within my parish to Jane Sider for Spiritual Direction. Whether in her role as a director or as a volunteer in our Meeting House Ottawa community, Jane authentically cares for people out of her own expansive experience and her commitment to always keep growing in her own personal spiritual practice.

 I have consistently seen people from my parish take significant next steps in their spiritual journey and their own self-awareness through their sessions with Jane. If you are looking for a guide to help you grow in your understanding of yourself and of the Divine, I cannot recommend spiritual direction with Jane highly enough.” Eric Versluis - Lead Pastor, The Meeting House Ottawa
