What is spiritual direction? (IgnatianSpirituality.org)
The Ignatian Spirituality Center receives many requests for spiritual direction and has compiled a list of area spiritual directors familiar with Ignatian spirituality. The spiritual directors listed here are independent practitioners who are not employed or supervised by the Ignatian Spirituality Center. We offer this list as a resource to support your discernment and encourage you to connect directly with those who feel like a good fit for your spiritual journey.
