Spiritual Direction
Ancient Monasticism meets
Modern Excellence
Virtually all of humanity - past and present - has seen the human experience as a spiritual one.
Aspects of modernity fell out of sync with this fact: stripping life of sacredness, awe, mythos and mystery and calling it ‘normal’. But it isn’t.
And the legacy has been a flat, hyper secular materialism that lacks cosmic meaning and story.
If human beings are spiritual beings,
a flourishing life needs spiritual wisdom.
The deep calls to us still.
How will you answer?
Spiritual Direction is the ancient pathway to spiritual formation.
It is rooted in the principles, practices and pragmatism of the early monastic, mystical and contemplative Christian tradition.
It has provided personalised support to monarchs, clergy, artists, merchants and intellectuals for 2,000 years.
Our approach marries the pedigree of this ancient wisdom tradition with contemporary excellence.
Think of it as having access to the insights and benefits of a personal retreat but in real time. The goal being enriched, ongoing personal formation.
You don’t need a faith to benefit from it. If you have one, great: if not, we can make that work too.
