Frequently asked questions

How will we meet for spiritual direction?

I practice spiritual direction in person (outside of COVID-19 times) and over Google Meet, Skype, or FaceTime. If another platform works better for you, I’m open to it. We will meet once every four to six weeks for about an hour.

What if you find that we’re not a good fit for direction after all?

Spiritual direction is a freely chosen practice. You make no short or long-term commitment to our work together, so I will ask at the end of each session, “Would you like to set a time for next month?” I do request that if you need to cancel a scheduled session, please let me know 48 hours in advance of the appointment time.

You want to offer your congregation a half-day retreat. How would that work?

Send me an email and we’ll schedule a conversation. Retreats are meant to be times of soul rest, so you and I will talk about what would best provide that rest to your people. A half-day retreat will include time online and time away from the screen, allowing space for group interaction and personal contemplation.

How much do I charge?

After an initial free session, my rate for spiritual direction sessions is $60 - $90/hr. Rates for retreat direction and group retreats are contingent on time needed for preparation and presentation and will be discussed during planning.
