Judith’s Work

Judith Wright Favor color portrait - photo by Sonja Stump

“Holy Listening” describes a covenant
in which two persons pledge to listen together
for God’s voice in one of their lives.

By listening and reflecting together for a time,
we seek to discern God’s leading.

What May Be Nudging You Toward Spiritual Accompaniment?

•      Your heart yearns for a closer connection with the Source of Life

•      Your mind seeks to understand more about Christian or interfaith spiritual traditions

•      Your body thirsts to drink deeply of Living Water

•      Your restless soul longs to rest in God

•      You sense a desire for greater purpose and meaning

•      You notice the Holy Spirit nudging you out of your comfort zone

Why Could This Be the Time to Explore Spiritual Direction?

•      You face a major decision or transition in love or work

•      Life is just too busy.  You need a break and yearn to simply rest in Sacred Presence

•      You seem to be hearing Deep calling to deep but aren’t sure what to do next

•      Friends, family or colleagues are coming to you for spiritual help

•      You want to feel more at home in yourself so you can be more fully present to others

•      You sense a connection between the words “prayer” and “precarious”

•      You need encouragement to take the risks of turning toward Sacred Mystery

•      You’ve heard that God leads each person in a unique way and you want to explore
how God may be at work in your life

Why Seek a Spiritual Companion?

•      You seek a seasoned spiritual guide who can help you discover
what God is inviting you toward

•      You want to confide in someone you can trust

•      You hope for unconditional acceptance, steady prayer and tender care

•      You want to meet with someone outside your own denominational circle

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is an ancient ministry, a covenant friendship of prayerful, soulful listening.

•     To assist you in noticing, naming and savoring the daily presence of Sacred Mystery

•     To support you in discerning and responding to the call of The Holy One

•     To celebrate any surprising moments of union with the Source of Love

Spiritual Directors – listen carefully to your hopes and hurts, explore the deeper dimensions of your yearnings and disappointments, and help you discover how The Holy Mystery may be addressing you.

​Spiritual Direction — is a delicate process of listening deeply as you tell your sacred stories, wondering with you about God’s guidance, and holding you in Light and Love during and between sessions.

Spiritual Direction – can be a life-changing experience of communion with God/Christ/Spirit while navigating spiritual heights, hidden depths and shadowy realms.

Spiritual Directors —meet regularly (usually once a month) as you share and explore your journey of faith.

Spiritual Direction — This term has a long, rich history within the monastic tradition. Today, “spiritual direction” means more “holy listening” and less “direction” in the sense of giving direct advice, though it sometimes happens.

A Spiritual Director —is a privileged witness to your journey with God. The focus is on the relationship between you and The Holy rather than with your guide.

Spiritual Direction – fosters and witnesses transcendent experiences beyond language, exquisite moments you long to articulate and assimilate into everyday life.

Spiritual Direction – ripens “the fruit of the spirit” within you, promoting justice by strengthening your capacity to practice love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-mastery in daily interactions.
