Spiritual Direction and Care

Spiritual direction is the process of accompanying people on a spiritual journey. Spiritual direction exists in a context that emphasizes growing closer to one's spiritual aspect, higher power, or God.  Stated otherwise, spiritual direction explores a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Simply put, spiritual direction is helping people tell their sacred stories everyday and understand the great gift of their life in a new and more profound manner.

Spiritual care provides support for emotional and spiritual needs during moments of acute struggle or crisis, regardless of an individual’s faith or non-faith background.  Spiritual care accompanies persons as they reestablish their own sense of well-being and wholeness.

The chaplains and staff of the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life are available to offer spiritual support on a one-on-one basis. We invite you to contact us for more information or call us at 651-696-6298.
