God is always walking with us, calling us, waiting for us. When we say yes, that yes takes us to new places, new beginnings, new ways of seeing. In Spiritual Direction we say yes to God's invitation. We meet, we pray, make silence, talk about life, listen deeply, notice the movements of the Spirit in our lives, talk more, listen more. It is a journey towards our true self to encounter God in a deep, intimate, and loving way.
