What is Spiritual Direction?

Welcome — I'm Col, and I’m glad you’re here.

You might be wondering… is Spiritual Direction for you?

If you’re longing for a deeper connection with God, you’re not alone. 

You might be:

  • feeling spiritually dry

  • carrying questions you can’t quite name

  • navigating a season of change

  • or simply sensing a quiet pull toward something more

 

Spiritual Direction offers a sacred space to pause, to reflect, and to listen for the voice of the Spirit in your life.

Spiritual Direction is for anyone— not just the devout or the certain.

It can be especially helpful in times of transition, when you’re discerning a decision, or when your faith feels distant or unclear.

What happens in Spiritual Direction?

When you meet with me, we’ll sit together, either in person or online, about once a month.

 

We’ll begin with a simple introductory session to see if this feels like a good fit.

From there, each session unfolds gently.

There is no rush. No pressure to perform.

We make space for:

  • silence

  • reflection

  • honest conversation

  • and deep listening

 

This isn’t about fixing. It isn’t about teaching. It’s about accompanying.

My role is to walk alongside you, helping you notice and respond to the movement of the Spirit in your everyday life.

A Bit About Me

You can call me Col.

I trained as a Spiritual Director with Spiritual Growth Ministries. Before that, I spent 30 years in youth ministry and community development.

I have been following Jesus for over 35 years, and like most, my journey has included both mountain-top moments and deep valleys.

I am a proud member of the Association of Christian Spiritual Directors New Zealand (ACSD) and Spiritual Directors International (SDI).

I feel drawn to accompany people, especially at the thresholds of life, where things become honest, tender, and sacred.

It is in these spaces that I seek to offer presence, peace, and gentle care for the soul.

Curious to know more?

If you’re wondering if spiritual direction might be for you, I offer a free 30-minute Zoom session —no pressure, just a chance to connect. You can reach me via the form at the bottom of the page.
