About Me

Dona has a passion and enjoys providing spiritual formation for those who are longing to experience a deeper journey of self-discovery, finding one's fullest purpose and ultimate value, in an intimate, loving union and oneness with God. She has 20+ years in pastoral ministry—congregational and church-wide leadership, stewardship and generosity coaching, mental health/family systems training with Healthy Congregations. Dona holds a MDiv. She also holds a MS in Architecture and is a Fellow with the AIA and AHA. Dona provides spiritual direction and received her certificate in spiritual direction from Selah (Leadership Transformation). Spiritual direction is meant for those who yearn for God’s guidance as they move through various life situations, experiencing times of indecision or discontent and yet for others, the desire or hunger is more focused, rising from a clear understanding that God may be missing from particular parts on one’s life. Dona’s spiritual direction is grounded in a trinitarian understanding of God. She is available to meet both in-person, by phone and online.

About Me

Hi I am Alan Johnson.
I am a pastor, husband, father, friend, spiritual director, child of God and disciple of Jesus.
I graduated from seminary with a Master’s of Divinity (MDiv) in 2017 and came to a startling reality: I had learned a lot about God, but I did not feel like I knew God any better. That realization led me to explore spiritual formation and eventually enroll in a Doctor of Ministry Program at Fuller Theological Seminary in Spiritual Direction and Spiritual Formation. I completed the Spiritual Direction training in May of 2023.
I love getting to hear people’s stories and together look for God at work.
My passion is to help people know and grow in their knowledge of the Truth so that they can experience the freedom and fullness of the gospel.
I would love to hear your story and see if I might be a good fit to explore where God is present in your life.

About Me

I love to see people encounter the presence and love of God. I am a spiritual director, a Prayer Companion accompanying people through Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, and a mental health counseling student (hoping to graduate in 2027). If you have never tried spiritual direction, I highly recommend it! Spiritual Direction played an important role in my own life at a time when I was burnt out after years of non-profit and teaching and then pastoral ministry. I needed a fresh way to engage with God and others. Therefore, I am thrilled to offer spiritual direction to others now because I know firsthand how valuable it is.

I received my training through the Anglican Diocese of New England. I have additional training in leading people through the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. I am certified to work with Enneagram through the PAX Center. I have an MA in Christian Studies from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. I am comfortable meeting with both Evangelicals and Roman Catholics. I meet with people either in person or via zoom for those at a distance. I also offer retreats through my ministry (Jesus Expedition) and lead retreats for groups that invite me in to do so.

There is no cost for an initial introductory meeting. I would love to just hear your story!

About Me

Spiritual direction burst into my life quite unexpectedly. Here in New England, the practice has not gained the awareness and popularity that it has in other parts of the country, so I was fairly unfamiliar with it until a few years ago. But when a friend told me about the two-year training program through Nuos Formation, I was intrigued and sensed God's invitation to sign up. What followed was life-changing. As I experienced the beauty of receiving spiritual direction in both individual and group settings, and then provided it for others, it felt as if my soul had finally found the rest it had been longing for. I felt seen and held by God as I never had before. And now it is a joy and privilege to get to hold sacred space for others longing to feel seen and held by God.

I am married with one teen and three young adult children. My husband of 25 years and I have been involved in church ministry and leadership of one form or another for most of our adult lives. Pastors and church leaders face unique challenges, and often a sense of isolation. I've discovered that spiritual direction with a trained director outside their congregation can be a beautiful safe space to unburden their souls and experience God's loving attunement.

My own experiences with spiritual abuse, family of origin trauma, and rigid church systems have given me great empathy for hurting people trying to make sense of God and faith. My heart is to provide a safe space to process confusion and pain, and to explore doubts about God and Christianity.

I am a certified Enneagram coach through the Essential Enneagram Growth System. Sometimes a session may include exploration of where God might be inviting an individual to growth and wholeness, or where they might be stuck. The Enneagram can provide a great framework for that.

I love hiking, solitude, karate, reading, great food, travel with my husband, and any chance I can get to hang out with my grown kids.

About Me

I received my spiritual direction training at the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Biola University. One of the things I enjoy most about being a spiritual director is getting to witness my directees be touched by God in ways they've least expected it. The way their eyes light up when they realize God's love for them is so precious and such a gift.

Being a Korean-American, and having lived in America and Korea, I have a deep love and appreciation for cross-cultures. Having attended a Korean-American immigrant church for most of my life, I understand the unique spiritual dynamics and culture in an Asian American church.

My husband and I have been married for six years and have two young children.

Education:
M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Biola University
B.A. in Cognitive Psychology at University of California, Irvine

About Me

What an honor, a sacred place, the ministry of Spiritual Direction. It is a privilege to come alongside the true Spiritual Director, the Holy Spirit.

I first discovered Spiritual Direction as part of my own spiritual formation. I completed a 5-year journey into my own spiritual formation beginning with a 9-month experience in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. This followed by a two-year Spiritual Formation program through the ministry of The Transforming Center and Ruth Haley Barton and most recently completing a two-year training program through the Sustainable Faith, School of Spiritual Direction.

My vocation had long been in a role of directing Global Outreach in a local congregation. As a part of this role, I meet with many persons, missionaries, pastors, volunteers and church members. What I noticed over and over were so many people from different walks of life longing to know God and to be known by God in a deeper way.

I desire to listen to others, while holding this sacred space, helping others to notice God’s presence in their soul journey. God is faithful and always present to meet the directee wherever that might be.

In addition to offering Spiritual Direction, I am blessed to spend time with my husband of 45 years, our 3 children, their spouses and 7 grandchildren.

About Me

Dan’s journey to becoming a spiritual director was through the unlikely door of civil engineering, the profession in which he had worked in for over 20 years. Following a season of serving as a missionary engineer in Uganda, Dan came to a greater awareness of his longing to accompany others on their journey to a greater attentiveness to the movements of God and a deepening intimacy with Him.

Dan has completed two years of training with the Sustainable Faith Schools of Spiritual Direction and has also been trained by Sustainable Faith to accompany individuals through the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. A teacher with Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction, Dan enjoys training spiritual directors in Colorado at various locations along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.

Over the last 20+ years, Dan has served churches as an elder, staff member and volunteer ministry leader, worked full time with a few different mission organizations, and in 2022 began serving with InterVarsity USA as an Associate Director of Spiritual Formation.

Dan is also a pilgrimage guide along the Camino de Ignaciano, a recently developed route in northeastern Spain that highlights the journey Ignatius of Loyola made in 1522 and invites modern day pilgrims to a growing understanding of God’s direction for one’s life.

Dan, and his wife, Kim, reside in Colorado Springs and have three children. When he’s not spending time with family or savoring a cup of coffee and a good book, Dan enjoys hiking the many mountainous and forested trails throughout Colorado. He is available to meet in person in Colorado Springs or remotely via Zoom.

About Me

Hi, I’m Anja. I am in a cross-cultural marriage and have three grown children. I was born in Germany and have lived in various places, including the Middle East, Canada, and the UK, where I have been involved in Christian mission work for the past 30 years.

I trained in relational Spiritual Direction with Deepen in Malaga 2018-2020, where I discovered my calling to create spaces for people in ministry to grow in their awareness of our loving Saviour as they navigate life and ministry in all its dimensions. I also trained in Ignatian Spiritual Direction (and supervision) at St. Beuno's in Wales, where I developed a passion for the Ignatian exercises. I appreciate how these exercises can help individuals bring their whole selves and deepest longings to God in prayer.

In my experience, these spiritual exercises are valuable for growing in freedom to receive God's love and discern His will. I believe and experience that contemplative spaces are places of beauty, healing, and joy. My desire is to foster and to have a posture of welcome in every aspect of my life, echoing God's welcome of each person He has created.

About Me

I'm Laura - a counselor and writer turned spiritual director. I'm glad you're here.

In the early years of my career, I'd never heard of spiritual direction. When I accidentally stumbled into a contemplative prayer class, I realized I had been longing for spiritual rest for a very long time.

In contemplative prayer, I was led into the "unforced rhythms of grace." I didn’t just consider Jesus; I met with Him. Before long, I was signing up for all the contemplative activities I could find. Formational prayer. Spiritual Direction. The 19th Annotation of the Spiritual Exercise of St. Ignatius. I was hooked.

After a while, I began teaching formational prayer classes and in May 2023, I earned my certificate in Spiritual Direction from Sustainable Faith.

Now, it’s my pleasure to offer direction to others. I happily direct anyone; however, if you are new to contemplation, burned-out on religion, or looking for trauma-informed direction, I have a special seat for you.

I'd love to chat with you about direction.

About Me

As a spiritual director, it is my joy to walk alongside individuals as they make space in their lives to become more aware of God's presence, listen to His voice, and respond to His invitations. I believe God is always at work around us, and I am passionate about journeying with people as they seek to discover His activity in their lives.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministries (2019) and a Master of Practical Theology (2021) from Indiana Wesleyan University. I completed a 2-year Spiritual Direction training program through College Wesleyan Church in 2024. I am ordained in The Wesleyan Church and currently serve as an assistant pastor at Fairmount Wesleyan Church, where I oversee small groups, online services, and assist in leading and managing our church-owned coffee shop.

About Me

I received my training in Spiritual Direction at the Institute of Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology, and also from Dr. Larry Crabb's School of Spiritual Direction. I am currently a staff spiritual director at Talbot School of Theology and China Evangelical Seminary North America.

I love to provide a safe setting where people can be heard and understood, and we can discern what God is doing in all aspects of life, in ministry, work, daily life, in good times and bad, in various relationships, since He is all things, working for the goodness of us. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

About Me

My deep hope and prayer is that I offer a safe place for God to speak to those drained dry by life, ministry, parenting or burdened by pressures of all kinds that drown out the voice of God.....or maybe just people who feel it's hard to find God right now. Spiritual practices can feel dry or desire for God is lacking. This ministry constantly humbles me, mostly because God always shows up (in spite of my own frailty), and it feels like a huge honor to be trusted by others to walk alongside them on their spiritual journey.

After graduating from Talbot, I've worked in a variety of capacities in churches and conference centers, teaching and mentoring people of all ages and stages. But eventually, and without my knowing, all the busy doing drained my soul. I felt stuck in a spiritually dry place with God. That began my own long journey away from guilt and shame and towards a new way of approaching my own quiet rhythms with a loving Father. Later I spent two years training with Christian Formation and Direction Ministries. I have completed additional training to lead people (individuals or small groups) through the 19th annotation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises or the retreat in daily life. I am a student of the wisdom of the Enneagram, especially as it applies to spiritual transformation. My ministry also involves the supervision and training of spiritual directors.

Spending free time with my dear husband, adult kids and my grandkids is extremely life-giving for me. Career-wise, I've worked part-time with families in independent study for 15 years. I'm also a lover of books and the beach (usually together) and a reluctant gym-rat. I am ever-blessed to have a small group of friends who put up my passion and fascination with the formation and care of the human soul as we travel this gift we call life.

I believe that Spiritual Direction is for people of any age. It involves listening, encouraging and supporting someone on their spiritual journey. I also believe that Spiritual Direction provides a life changing opportunity to draw closer to Jesus. This happened in my life. I’m confident that it can happen in yours.
I completed the Sustainable Faith Spiritual Direction program in May 2019. I graduated from Trinity International University with a MA in Counseling Ministries. I have a BS in Nursing from Ohio State University.
It would be my privilege to walk with you on your spiritual journey.

About Me

The art of holy listening. I have received this. I am seeking to offer this as I companion others. The past eight years have been preparing my steps. Marriage, family, home education, international living and local church ministries are the experiences that have shaped the spiritual direction ministry in my life.

I received my direction training through the Selah Certificate Program in Spiritual Direction, Leadership Transformations, Inc. in June 2016. I have been sitting in spiritual direction since 2008. My husband, Sam, and I have been married for 28 breath-taking years. We have two married sons and two unmarried adult children.

About Me

My purpose - Brother with Men to Burn for Jesus Christ. Became a Christian in my teen years, 9 years US Air Force pilot, lived overseas 14 years, husband of one awesome wife, father to 4 terrific kids, a life coach since 2009, mostly with men. Small group and one to one discipleship for 35 years. In 2014 started Spiritual Direction training with Selah - Leadership Transformations.

The distinction of Spiritual Direction is "walking with" a brother towards Christ. I quit telling men what to do, and started listening with them to what God is saying to them.

Good experience with integrating the inner spiritual life with the outside behaviors, rock solid Jesus style marriages, helping men step away from pornography.

About Me

I love creating sacred space for discovery and creativity, for deeper conversation and connection with God.
My vision is that in this hurried world, we would slow to be with one another as human beings in gracious spaces, hearing, honoring, and celebrating the unique voices and stories God longs to stir and unfold; while at the same time creatively collaborating with one another as influencers and deep pray-ers, listening to his invitations to engage in our communities through our gifts, time, and influence.

About Me

My hope in spiritual direction is to create and nurture sacred space in order to journey with you into deeper experiential encounters with the Lord. As we pray together, enter into silence, or reflect, I seek to offer a welcoming presence where we notice and pay attention to the workings of the Holy Spirit in your life.

I received an M.A. in Spiritual Formation from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and have been trained in Selah Contemplative Spiritual Direction. I also work as an INELDA-trained End-of-Life Doula.

Some of my favorite Christian authors are Eugene Peterson, Howard Thurman, Thomas Merton, C.S. Lewis and Henri Nouwen.

Merton writes, "In a world of noise, confusion, and conflict, it is necessary that there be places of silence and peace. In such places love can blossom."

About Me

May the peace of Christ be with you!

My name is Matt Kessler. I lead a small non-profit in San Antonio, Texas dedicated to leadership coaching, spiritual direction, marriage care, and wilderness adventure trips. I am passionate about coming alongside and guiding people into a deeper experience of the Father’s love, identity and freedom in Christ, and fullness of life in the Holy Spirit.

I have served in ordained ministry in the local church for 27 years. I have a Master's in Divinity, and I am a certified Leadership Coach, Stephen’s Minister, and Spiritual Director. I am also a trained Survival Instructor. I have planted and pastored two churches, helped start and lead several non-profit ministries, and I was consecrated a missionary bishop in the Anglican Communion in 2017. I’ve been married for 23 years and have three children 19, 15, 13…and two Australian Shepherds 7 and 1.

You can find out more about me at www.revelo.live as well as on Instagram @revelo210 and @mattkessler210

Spiritual Direction is a biblical form of Christian soul care that dates back to the earliest days of the church. It is a one-on-one relationship organized around Scripture, prayer, and conversations. It is an accompanied journey of the soul with the goal of spiritual renewal, transformation in Christ, and deeper union with God.

My first experience with spiritual direction came during one of the most difficult times I ever faced in ministry. Through Scripture reading, prayer, journaling, and weekly conversations with my spiritual director - the Lord met me, healed me, redeemed my pain, and breathed new life into my calling and ministry.

I was trained as a Spiritual Director through the Cenacle School of Spiritual Direction in Clearwater, Florida. As a spiritual director, it is my privilege to share all that has been so graciously invested in me to help others grow deeper in their relationship with God, self, and those around them.

I offer a friendly, free 30-minute Discovery Call by phone or Zoom to connect, learn more about your needs, and answer any questions about how I might serve you.
