While Spiritual Direction shares similarities with therapy, counselling, and mentoring, it’s uniquely focused on the spiritual aspect of a person’s life. Therapy and counselling often deal with mental health and emotional well-being, while mentoring might concentrate on personal or professional development. Spiritual Direction, however, is centered on exploring and deepening one’s spiritual beliefs, questions, and experiences. It’s not about solving problems but rather understanding and nurturing the spiritual self.
Spiritual Direction is a practice focused on helping individuals explore their spiritual journey, deepen their relationship with the Divine, or understand their place in the world. Through one-on-one guidance with a trained spiritual director, individuals can gain insights, support, and encouragement in their spiritual life. It’s a process that fosters self-awareness, growth, and connection with one’s spirituality.
Anyone seeking spiritual renewal, peace, or a place for contemplation can make a booking at Hou Mana Wai Mercy Wellsprings. Individuals, groups, and organizations interested in spiritual development or retreats are welcome. Please contact our team for availability and any specific requirements.
