"It is easier to find guides, someone to tell you what to do, than someone to be with you in a discerning, prayerful companionship as you work it out yourself. This is what spiritual direction is."

Eugene H. Peterson

Spiritual direction is a unique, and sacred relationship focused on your connection with the living God. Unlike counseling or mentorship, a spiritual director doesn’t offer advice or solutions. Instead, they serve as a gentle guide and companion—someone trained to listen deeply and help you notice God’s presence, movement, and invitation in your everyday life.

After more than a decade in the field of therapy, Michelle felt a strong call to integrate more of her faith into her work. This led her to earn a Certificate in Spiritual Direction through Christian Formation and Direction Ministries (CFDM)in 2012, where she refined her ability to listen to the soul and accompany others on their spiritual path.

Spiritual direction may be a good fit if you:

Feel spiritually restless or are longing for more in your relationship with God

Are seeking clarity, direction, or discernment

Desire a safe, sacred space to reflect and be heard

Want to deepen your awareness of God in the rhythms of daily life

As with all services offered at Hesed House Art, spiritual direction can include the use of creativity and art as meaningful tools for exploration and expression. You don’t need to be an artist—just open to engaging your heart in new ways.
