About Me

My training as a spiritual director (with this program, https://www.sentwell.org/deepen) was grounded in multiple streams of Christian spirituality. Having been in all-time cross-cultural ministry for 22 years, I am able to help others lean into the formational invitations of living in different cultures.

I also work with those who especially want to explore their relationship with their body and how God is present to them in their embodied experience. When appropriate, I may use guided art-processing, as well as poetry reading or writing, as part of individual or group direction, and particularly during guided retreats.

About Me

Curate your Heart. Experience God's fullness. Be Transformed.

My driving passion is to see people grow deeper in Christ. I am captivated by the reality that there is more of Christ and His love than we have experienced.

I grew up in Colorado Springs, enjoying the beautiful Rocky Mountains. After studying finance at the University of Colorado, I helped churches, non-profit organizations and individuals with stewarding their finances.

Shortly after graduating from college, I discerned a call to full-time pastoral work and enrolled at Fuller Theological Seminary. While working on my Masters in Theology, I was introduced to the ministry of spiritual direction, and realized I had been serving as a spiritual director to others long before I formally knew what spiritual direction was. A few of my seminary professors were also trained in the ministry of spiritual direction, which offered a unique integration between theology and what it means to follow Christ in the day-to-day.

Upon graduating, my wife I moved to Auburn, CA to serve as the community life pastor in a local church. Shortly after moving to Auburn, I attended Sustainable Faith and completed my training in 2018. In addition to serving at the church, I enjoy offering spiritual direction, leading retreats and spiritual formation groups. I recently transitioned off of staff and am pursuing ordination in the Anglican Church and moved back to Colorado and I am pursuing my D.Min in Spiritual Formation at Denver Seminary. I meet with directees in person in Colorado Springs and online anywhere in the world.

I have a heart for pastors, missionaries, ministry leaders and anybody who heart a desire to grow deeper in Christ.

In 2020 I completed my training to become a supervisor. I greatly enjoy the privilege of walking alongside peers in this ministry, where we get the opportunity to attend to our own souls for the sake of those we care for and to grow in our skills to do so. If you are interested in spiritual direction, supervision, retreats or just want to connect, please reach out!

About Me

While on staff with Young Life, I had the gift of meeting with a spiritual director, which was especially helpful in a difficult season of ministry in my early 20s. Meeting her led to attending seminary at Fuller's regional campus in Colorado, which is where I met my husband, Bryan. My exposure to and passion for spiritual formation grew in my time at Fuller, with several professors who were also trained in spiritual direction. I felt the nudge and invitation from the Holy Spirit to pursue training in spiritual direction myself, longing to offer the same gifts I had been given to others as they need a safe space to prayerfully articulate the joys, sorrows, questions, doubts, and abundant grace of life in Christ.

After graduating, my husband and I relocated to California, where we both attended the two-year School of Spiritual Direction (SOSD) under Sustainable Faith. I completed Sustainable Faith's SOSD program in 2018, and I recently completed their supervision training as well. I'm the co-director of CURATE Ministries, alongside my husband Bryan, which is a soul care and spiritual formation ministry, dedicated to coming alongside others as they pursue new heights and depths in their spiritual lives.

God has used spiritual direction in such profound, unexpected ways in my own life--I can honestly say it's been a life-changing experience! I find the greatest joy in offering spiritual direction, and I come alive at the chance to walk alongside others in their relationships with God. I consider it holy ground. My heart as a spiritual director is simply to prayerfully listen to you as you share from your own prayer life and journey with Jesus, staying attuned to the Holy Spirit's voice, movements and graces in your life.

I just recently became a new mom to a beautiful baby girl, Evangeline. Bryan and I also relocated to Colorado Springs and are enjoying being back in the Rocky Mountains.

Please send me an email if you're interested in spiritual direction, supervision, or if you have any questions. I am able to see people in person in the Colorado Springs area, as well as over Zoom, Facetime, etc. I look forward to connecting with you!

About Me

What always surprises me is how God loves, lives with and communicates to broken people like me. God is alive and always offering invitations to experience his goodness and grace. As we open ourselves to him, he surprises us with how directly available he is. We savor the delightfulness of his presence, hear his still, small voice and sense his leading. Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me." That is his promise to anyone who trusts him.

As a spiritual director I have the joyous privilege to serve as companion with those who desire to respond to God's promptings. For me a greater awareness of God's immediacy began at a silent retreat. There the spiritual director asked questions and offered invitations that opened my perceptions to some of the multitude of ways God communicates with us. It was unlooked for, astounding, joyous, loving and grounded in reality and Scripture. I knew then that I wanted to walk with others as they delved into God's glory and beauty.

Would you like to explore the vast reaches of God's love and grace?

About Me

Working in the ministry and counseling field since 1991, I've developed a passion to see people free to experience the fullness of what God has for them. After 12 years on the ministry staff of a large church I ventured out into private practice. I'm excited to be part of the journey as others begin to experience the transformation by the renewing of their minds! Romans 12:1-2 is foundational for the kind of change I know is possible as we look toward the Spirit and His gentle lead rather than the continual conforming to what the world poses as truth.

I've been formally trained in the areas of Marriage and Family Therapy, Spiritual Direction, Neurofeedback as well as Mediation.

My husband Dan and I have been married 29 years and together we enjoy camping, biking, leading marriage retreats, sharing life with friends and getting to know our grandkids as they become the awesome individuals they are!

About Me

I love to see God reveal Himself to others, and it is a joy for me to encourage a life-giving connection to Him. Life is busy, hurried, and noisy at times. Through spiritual direction I love to offer a quiet and unhurried space to give thoughtful consideration to one’s life with God.

God longs to be gracious and compassionate to us. He has expressed His perfect love through Jesus Christ, and desires that we experience this love and be made whole and holy by it. Because of my own experiences of His life-changing grace, my passion is to see people of all ages experience Him intimately. As a spiritual director, it is my privilege to come alongside others to help them notice and be responsive to God's loving presence in all of life. Through reflecting on our life story, asking questions, and prayerful listening, we see evidence of God's grace. We notice together ways God is at work within and around us, and discern His direction and calling.

God desires to transform us more and more into the likeness of Christ. As a spiritual director, I support you as you open yourself to that deepening work, anchoring you in Biblical truth, so you can live into your full potential in Christ and then live that out in the world. Spiritual practices are offered that help you draw closer to God in ways that are meaningful for you.

I received my training in spiritual direction through Sustainable Faith, and have been practicing spiritual direction since 2012. I have also participated in a two-year spiritual formation program through the Transforming Center. In addition, I have been trained to use the Enneagram, a tool for spiritual transformation, facilitating groups and helping individuals to better understand their profiles.

I have been married for 31 years to a remarkable man, David. We have enjoyed the privilege of serving together in church ministry for nearly three decades. We have six wonderful adult children, all of whom I refer to as my greatest earthly treasures!

About Me

Trained at Sustainable Faith's School of Spiritual Direction in Cincinnati, Ohio, I've been offering spiritual direction to both groups and individuals since 2010. I am now an instructor for the school, training Cohorts in Portland and Seattle. I also served as a Vineyard pastor for nearly fourteen years.

Born in Hawaii, I grew up in a military family, so I lived in several different states. Five different Elementary Schools, two Middle Schools and three High Schools taught me the value of adaptability (among other things). I eventually followed my sweetheart, Tracey, from Oregon to Southern California where we were married in 1975. Together we raised three children, two of whom have increased the Henry tribe by marrying amazing spouses.

Originally ordained with Calvary Chapel after completing their bible college, I served as a worship leader at Calvary Chapel Valle Vista, and then worship Pastor at North Coast Calvary Chapel. On the winding path from California to Ohio I traversed multi-collar worlds: climbing up telephone poles, down into manholes, designing internet architecture for the phone company, and eventually pausing midlife to complete my Bachelor of Science Degree in Management Information Systems. (What a long, strange trip it's been ;)

In 2008 I was invited by Lyman Coleman to prototype a groundbreaking and transformative men’s retreat and group experience for the Vineyard, thus ruining me for traditional small groups and small talk forever. My love for "men's work" continues unabated, meshing wonderfully with the practice of spiritual direction.

I currently meet clients at two locations in Greater Cincinnati, one North, one South. I have flexible hours and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I also regularly offer direction via Skype or Facetime. For more information please visit my website www.pilgrimheart.io (NOT dot.com) or e-mail me at dan@pilgrimheart.io. Our first consultation is free.

About Me

My passion is helping women create ""sacred space"" of deeper intimacy with Jesus Christ in the midst of their life circumstances, in order to experience greater wholeness and deeper peace. I was trained through Sustainable Faith School of Spiritual Direction. I also am trained by them to accompany individuals through the 19th Annotation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.

I also hold an M.Div in Pastoral Counseling, an M.A. in Biblical Studies and a D.Min in Spiritual Formation from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ohio. I serve the Lord as auxilliary staff at Christ the King Vineyard Church in North Olmsted, Ohio. I also served 20 years on staff at a Pregnancy Care Center, and as executive director for the last 7 years. I am a single mom of 5 married children, 15 grandchildren and 16 "great-grands."" Next to the Lord, these all are the loves of my life.

About Me

Richard Herman is a retired Presbyterian pastor with over 40 years of experience in pastoral ministry, who continues to serve God's people as a teacher and spiritual director. A graduate of Bucknell University (BA) and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M. Div.), he is certified as a Spiritual Director by Oasis Ministries. He has also earned a Certificate in Spiritual Formation from Columbia Theological Seminary subsequent to completing his D. Min at Fuller Theological Seminary, and is a trained Stephen Leader. Dick is married to Lissa and they have a married daughter and two granddaughters, who live nearby. He also enjoys taking walks and bird-watching with Lissa, travel in the Celtic lands of the UK, photography (nature and contemplative) and playing with both his granddaughters and a golden retriever named Winnie.

For Dick, spiritual direction is being a contemplative companion on a faith journey whose presence encourages listening intentionally for the quiet voice of the Shepherd that calls each of us by name, leads us out and sustains us. Direction is the process of paying attention together to the life-giving movement of God’s Spirit in a person’s life held intimately in the hands of God’s that are good, loving, strong and nail-scarred. The director is an “anam cara” or “soul friend” who, amidst a dangerous journey in a dangerous world, provides a safe place and a safe relationship in which to discover and grow in God’s grace and love.

"Spiritual Direction is the prayerful practice of being with people as they seek to grow and deepen their relationship with God, helping them attend to God’s voice and recognize His presence. Spiritual Direction asks the question: ‘Where is God and what is He doing in my world?’" ~ Richard Herman

About Me

“God’s purpose is that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn’t far from any of us, and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are.” Acts 17:27-28

The Holy One is not far from any of us...what an incredible reality and mystery!

Over the years I have been drawn slowly but steadily to a more contemplative way of being. As I look and reach and find God, I begin to understand that it is a life lived at attention that I seek. I want to learn to notice and appreciate the gifts that each day brings. And I want to face the losses and challenges of life and receive the power to live and move through them. I want to become more and more of who God made me to be.

In the midst of living, working, and ministering in a cross-cultural setting, it was the words “Contemplatives in Action” that got my attention. I began to encounter questions that resonated deep within me. What does it mean to be a contemplative in the world? Can I find and experience resting in peace with the Holy in the midst of the changing, unstable situation which is our world?

I continue to be drawn to becoming a contemplative in action, and I have found spiritual direction to be a helpful practice in wrestling with the questions of life and growing in grace in the midst of whatever is going on. I see what is being developed and growing within me touching and transforming more and more of my life.

I am always amazed at the ways that God meets each one of us in the place where we are...what a gift!

My desire is to provide a time and space for you to relax and feel safe enough to explore your spiritual journey with honesty.

“God rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:6b

About Me

God’s loving presence has never not been with us, yet is it not within our human nature to ask ourselves, “is God really there?”, and if He is, how can I be sure He really loves me?

My heart is to offer a safe and sacred space for individuals to review, process and observe what God might be whispering about His intimate personal presence and love for them. My goal is to help people respond to God through conversation, prayer and guidance with various spiritual practices.

I am a certified as a Spiritual Director through The Sustainable Faith, Inc. School of Spiritual Direction (http://www.sustainablefaith.com). I am also certified in lay counseling disciplines through The American Association of Christian Counselors. I am a Recommended Facilitator with oneLifemaps, LLC (www.onelifemaps.com) whose Listen to My Life Maps were created into a portfolio of unique visual maps that help people document their life stories for the purpose of spiritual growth and meaningful action.

My experience serving at my church (www.willowcreek.org) includes: volunteer pastor on call, group leader in various support ministries, retreat workshop speaker and leadership within a Spiritual Mentoring Ministry.

My husband Jac and I were married in 1975. We have four adult children and six precious grandchildren. During our first 17 years my husband’s military career moved us many times. We've lived in Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania, The Netherlands and Germany. I enjoy hanging out with my grand-kids, taking long walks, playing the piano, reading and photography. Due to the variety of my life experiences I am comfortable meeting with multi-cultures, men or women and especially those in church leadership.

About Me

I was originally born in the vibrant city of Hong Kong, then later on went to Guelph, Ontario, Canada to pursue my B.Sc in Food Science and worked in Hong Kong as a Food Scientist for a couple of years.

In these forty years of this interesting journey of my Christian life, He has led me into challenging moments I had never thought I would be in. One is that God led me divinely and miraculously into full-time International Ministry, loving others and being hand and feet for Jesus. In heined-sight, this ministry ultimately led me into life rewarding theological training, MA Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in Talbot School of Theology at Biola University. God has used it to further transform and deepen various perspectives / values of my Christian life.

As part of the community of Christ, it is my deepest passion to journey with others as a Spiritual Director, particularly in the Asian Community. I believe that Jesus can heal and bring hope to those who seeks after Him.

Since cross-cultural experiences brings me life and energies, I am totally comfortable with it and find it fascinating to interact with others. I am praying that God will use this newly launch ministry called "Journey with You" to bring blessings, growth and hope to many and to those who walk in this road less travel.

About Me

I have completed my spiritual direction training through Sustainable Faith’s two year School of Spiritual Direction. Throughout my 35+ years of student and pastoral ministry I have always been drawn to the aspect of spiritual formation of the heart and not just growth in knowledge. It wasn’t until two years ago that I was introduced to the practice of spiritual direction and actively pursued receiving spiritual direction and became engaged in the training.
I have my MDiv from Fuller Theological Seminary and an MTh from Luther Northwestern Theological Seminary. I have been at my current position of associate pastor of a Lutheran church for over three decades. I am finding the tools of spiritual direction to be a significant enrichment to ministry and to life with the Lord.
My wife and I live in Poway, CA; we have three grown children who have families of their own (between their three families we have 12 grandchildren). I enjoy taking walks with my wife, running, yardwork and puttering around the house.
My desire in conducting spiritual direction is to create a safe place for individuals to listen to what God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is speaking into their life and to pursue their God-given call in life; to discover a deeper intimacy with the Lord. I meet with both male and female directees in person, via FaceTime, Zoom or Skype.

About Me

I am retired after 35 years in cross cultural misssions. In "retirement", I am active in offering spiritual direction, leading retreats and training cohorts to grow through contemplative practices and to be spiritual companions for others. It is a joy to me that all of the training and retreat opportunities are done with my wife, Patty, who is also a spiritual director. We were both trained in spiritual direction through Sustainable Faith, in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 2016. Spiritual direction has had a transformative impact on both my wife and me and has been the biggest blessing in deepening our own awareness of God and growth in our love and obedience to him. It has also been extremely rewarding to listen well to directees and to the Holy Spirit and to see, on a regular basis, the Holy Spirit give directees freedom and a growing intimacy with God that results in transformation.

I have found my spiritual life often parallels my physical journey through life with its various twists and turns. I am from the South and have lived in various states throughout that area. I received my MDiv from Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, Alabama, moved to Tennessee when I got married and started a family. We followed God's leading to California where I trained and practiced as a spiritual director for 13 years before moving back to Tennessee. Through it all, God has used these experiences in my formation to open to Him, depend on Him, and shape me to become more like Jesus, and this is what I enjoy about direction - companioning with people where they find themselves in their journey with God and helping them discern His presence in their lives.

About Me

Spiritual direction offers a safe space in a hurried, word-filled world, to pause, listen, and become present to ourself and God. It is an honor to walk with those on this journey of discovery. I love helping others develop spiritual habits and draw closer to God as they become like Jesus for the sake of others.
Sharon and I were married in 1974, have four adult children and nine grandchildren. We have served as pastors since 1980 and currently reside in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. I have a Master of Divinity from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon, have been trained as a Spiritual Director through Selah, a Certificate Program from Leadership Transformation (https://www.leadershiptransformations.org/selah), and I am presently working on a DMin with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation at Phoenix Seminary.
I am available for Spiritual Direction or Spiritual Formation Coaching sessions either in person in Glendale or by Skype or Zoom. Contact: rogerhornbeck@gmail.com

About Me

I am honored to walk with individuals as they seek to draw closer to God, experience inner healing, and learn to know themselves more deeply. I love to help people awaken to their deepest desires and longings, and I find great joy in helping people discover their personal pathway to spiritual formation. Having served in pastoral ministry alongside my husband for 40 years, I am also a trained Spiritual Director, receiving certification from Sustainable Faith's School of Spiritual Direction. I am available for Spiritual Direction, Spiritual Formation Coaching, Accompaniment in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Speaking, and Retreats. In addition, I am a Certified Teacher of the Narrative Enneagram, offering Typing Interview, Enneagram-based Spiritual Direction/Coaching, Enneagram Training and Retreats.
