Welcome to my blog on exploring spiritual direction. If you have visited my website janetcschiering.com and read about spiritual direction, you will begin to get a sense of what this is all about.
I am currently a spiritual director with a many faceted professional career spanning 40+ years in the fields of counseling, chaplaincy (working with the dying and their families in hospice), church ministry, and community mental health agencies. I am who I am today due to the variety of experiences I have had in my life--meaningful, difficult, mysterious, challenging and humorous.
We are all spiritual beings, in the broadest sense of the term. However you define yourself, I invite you to take some time right now-- today-- to reflect on what or who is important in your life. This is the beginning of exploring the divine and noticing where you experience a sacred connection.
I encourage you to sit in intentional silence, just for a few moments, and be reassured, surprised, or curious about what comes up for you as you contemplate your unique sense of self and connection to the sacred source of Love: God.
Spiritual direction--it's a compass for growing your inner life with another companion on the Journey. In the weeks and months to come, we will explore what spiritual direction can do for you as you navigate this wondrous, messy, and at times baffling thing we call Life.
Welcome ! Janet Schiering
