A new home for spiritual direction, exploring old and new ideas
This project is a new platform for spiritual direction aimed at anyone interested in accessing direction but particularly people beyond the usual routes — people who are spiritually curious, possibly unsure where to begin and looking for something grounded and accessible.
It’s an early build. The platform will stay intentionally small to match the demand for services with the number of directors. It is being shaped slowly with a founding group of directors who want to help build and shape it, not just use it.
Who this might suit
At this point, the project needs a small team of directors for whom:
-
Spiritual direction is, or is becoming, a significant strand of your work
-
There’s a genuine appetite to grow a shared platform and reach new people
-
You have some ideas to help our discovery and reputation
-
You value collaboration, shared visibility and user-centred experimentation
With wisdom and kindness
Listening carefully
Walking together
