Retreats & Spiritual Direction
Dustin is a trained Spiritual Director, and is available by appointment.
A spiritual director, also referred to as a soul friend, spiritual midwife, or sacred companion, is a hospitable guide and resource as you search for meaning, connection, balance, and a deepening relationship with the divine.
When you meet with Dustin, he will offer gentle questions and a space to notice God’s work in your life, and in turn, you will be better equipped to navigate the twists and turns of the journey, become more self-aware, and reconnect with our Creator.
Some people choose to go through a series of sessions based around a theme. Some possible focus areas are:
Enneagram work
Discovering your type, leveraging this tool for transformation, embracing both strengths and rough edges, seeking integration
Exploring new spiritual practices Centering prayer, lectio divina, Benedictine “rule of life”, Ignatian Exercises, Prayer of Examen, etc.
Discerning a potential transition - (Exploring your story, Identifying your primary discernment pathways, wisdom through cognitive-affective-active balance)
Seeking renewal and purpose - (Visual journaling, soul health assessment, stages and phases of the faith journey, building healthy rhythms)
Maybe you sense a longing for something different in your life, or the ways you were taught to grow spiritually feel stale or even toxic. Maybe you are in a season of transition and wish to pursue clarity, discernment, or health. Maybe you are doing relatively fine but want to ensure you are establishing healthy rhythms and practices to live a purposeful and sustainable life.
For these reasons and more, spiritual direction might be the support you need in this season. We’d love to start a conversation about how Dustin can come alongside you. He is a generous listener who has years of experience in sitting with tough questions and elusive answers.
