SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

Spiritual Directors International (http://www.sdiworld.org/) describes spiritual direction as "the process of accompanying people on a spiritual journey. Spiritual direction helps people tell their sacred stories everyday. Spiritual direction exists in a context that emphasizes growing closer to God (or the holy or a higher power). Spiritual direction invites a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Spiritual direction is not psychotherapy or counseling. Spiritual direction helps us learn how to live in peace, with compassion, promoting justice, as humble servants of that which lies beyond all names."

JCU offers spiritual direction to interested individuals through various programs and institutes, as well as through one-on-one meetings.

If you are interested in exploring one-on-one spiritual direction please contact Paula Fitzgerald, Associate Director of Campus Ministry and Coordinator of Retreats at (216) 397-4709 or e-mail her.
