About
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is a contemplative practice of paying attention to how God may be present and moving in your life.
Rather than offering advice or solutions, a spiritual director accompanies you in noticing your experiences, questions, desires, and relationship with God.
It offers space to slow down, reflect, discern, and become more attentive to how your faith is being lived — not only understood.
“ The assumption of spirituality is that always God is doing something before I know it. So the task is not to get God to do something I think needs to be done, but to become aware of what God is doing so that I can respond to it and participate and take delight to it.”
Eugene Peterson
Why People Seek Spiritual Direction
Deepen relationship with God
Move beyond knowing about God toward a more personal, lived relationship with God.
Discern God’s movement
Become more attentive to how God may already be present and moving within everyday life, decisions and transitions.
Reconnect with your inner and spiritual life
Bring questions, doubts, desires, grief and changing experiences of faith into a trusted and reflective space.
“The best spiritual directors are not people who give spiritual advice but those who, by virtue of their training and personality, are well equipped to walk with others as companions on the journey toward spiritual maturity, health and wholeness. Joseph Wong is such a spiritual director and is someone to whom I refer those seeking spiritual accompaniment with deep confidence. His accompaniment of others on the journey of spiritual unfolding is psychologically grounded, shaped to the uniqueness of each person he works with, and guided by wisdom, empathy, and the authenticity and richness of his own journey and personhood.”

- Prayer, silence, and discernment
- Attention to your lived relationship with God
- Creative or contemplative practices when helpful
- A non-judgmental space to explore faith, change, loss, calling, and spiritual growth
