Spiritual Direction

Hi, I’m Jamie.

Spiritual direction has been a gift to me in my story—both in the receiving and the offering of this practice. I have been in my own spiritual direction since 2007, and have been offering individual and group direction for 8 years now! It’s one of my favorite places to be, this sacred space of listening in to the invitations of God (and our own souls!).

Education & Training:
I received an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology.

Member: SDI, CSDA, and Anam Cara.

If you’re curious about individual spiritual direction and whether we would be a good fit, you can book a free 30-minute intro session here.

Group Direction

If you would prefer to try spiritual direction in a group setting, I am facilitating one last 6-week session this year of my Creative Practice-based Spiritual Direction. Whether you have any sense of your creative side or not, I’d love to have you join us!

Mondays 9-11am PT, Oct 6 - Nov. 10

And if this 6 weeks won’t work for you, or if a monthly format feels more doable/interesting, I will be starting a yearlong group in January 2026! So let me know you’re interested at jamie@anamcara.com and I’ll get you on my list!

Retreats

I also offer online and in-person retreats with creative-spiritual components. Contact me if you would like to invite me to an individual or group retreat process!

What can I expect in spiritual direction?

Spiritual direction is a sacred space of listening. Of intentionally attending to someone’s life and experience (with God). There is sometimes prayer or reading or lighting a candle a creative practice or silence, but often it is simply a slow conversation of attentiveness and witnessing, as one comes alongside another on the journey. Not as a guide, but as a companion along the way.

Spiritual direction makes space for our souls to unfold, be seen in all their beauty and mess, and be beloved, together.

If you would like to explore this kind of companionship with me, you can book a session here, or contact me at jamie@anamcara.com. I’m also happy to refer you to a colleague if we won’t be a good fit for any reason!
