Spiritual Direction is a ministry in which one person accompanies another in the process of growing in one's relationship with God. |

| In a one-on-one trusting relationship, the trained spiritual director listens attentively and assists the individual in recognizing and responding to God's Presence within the joys and sorrows of life. In the hectic climate of daily life, that is so typical of today's world, having another individual with whom you can share your deepest concerns and greatest joys in a spiritual context is central to a rich, holistic living experience. Your relationship with God can deepen, and, in an on-going developmental process, your sense of well-being can spill out to others you know and love: family, friends, co-workers, students, etc. The Lumen Center offers a team of professionally trained, highly qualified, and deeply sensitive spiritual directors who are on staff and available to your needs. There is usually a fee attached to this ministry which can be discussed with your director during your first meeting. No one is ever excluded from spiritual direction due to finances. In general, the fee ranges from $25 to $50 according to your means.
