About Me

It is truly an honor to walk alongside individuals wherever they are in their spiritual journey. My approach to spiritual direction is Christ-centered and contemplative, offering a welcoming space for discernment and curiosity while navigating the joys and struggles of life.

I received a BA in Psychology from the University of North Texas and a MA in Spiritual Formation as well as a Certification in Spiritual Direction from Portland Seminary. I am currently employed as the Education Program Coordinator with Renovaré and assists in facilitating the Renovaré Institute, a two year training in Spiritual Formation.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family and soaking up nature by hiking, road biking, and camping. I have been married to my husband, Jason, for 28 years and we have three adult children and a goldendoodle.

About Me

I enjoy helping people to direct their attention to God - to seeing what He is doing in their everyday lives, to hearing His voice, and to resting in His love for them.
After seeing the value of spiritual direction in my own life and feeling God's call to offer spiritual direction, I trained with Selah Certificate Program in Spiritual Direction and now have the pleasure of offering spiritual direction in person or online.

About Me

I have always had a passion for soul care that is integrative in all aspects of life in my nursing, teaching, and ministry. I have a shepherd’s heart and a servant lifestyle. I received my Christian Formation and Spiritual Direction certificate from Christian Formation and Direction Ministries (CFDM) a two-year program. I have offered spiritual accompaniment for about 20 years. I am a graduate of Illinois Wesleyan University and received my Master’s at Fuller Theological Seminary Southwest where I taught Teaching for Christian Formation. I have been on staff at a large church, a small missional church and a mid-size church in my over 35 years of ministry. I am a member of the Board of two mission organizations where I serve an additional role as Spiritual Formation Director, Discernamentarian, Retreat Leader and Friend.

I am honored to join men and women, boards and staffs, who desire a deeper communion with God, revealed in Jesus Christ, as they discover God's love, transformative activity, and guidance in their lives and ministries. I offer spiritual accompaniment for individuals, couples, and children to shape a life of faith through prayerful listening, scripture, relationship, discernment processes and various spiritual practices for awareness, openness, and responsiveness to God ...until Christ is formed in us!

About Me

Anam Cara
noun (Gaelic) – a person with whom you can share your deepest thoughts, feelings and dreams; your soul friend.

This is who God made me to be. It’s why He placed me on this Earth, at this moment in time. It’s why He continues to take me on my own sacred journey of learning to befriend my own soul, to prepare me to hold sacred space for your soul, for your journey, for your story.

Imago Dei. Our stories have a holy beginning.

We were created in God’s image. YOU were created in God’s image. Along our winding paths, we lose touch with that pure, untarnished connection to our own soul. We get lost, confused, hurt. And yet, the Holy Spirit dwells in us still, waiting for the space to reconnect, to heal our hearts, to guide our paths, to fill us with peace and rest, to bring us back to wholeness.
I am privileged to walk with you, fellow traveler -- to listen to your heart, to help you see Jesus at work in your life, and to step into the freedom he has for you and me.

This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths. Ask where the good way is, and walk in it. And you will find rest for your souls.”
Jeremiah 6:16

About Me

After studying at Duke University (BA) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (MDiv), I was involved for eight years in pastoral ministry as a youth minister and church planter. After the heartbreak of a failed church plant, I took a position in 1992 teaching Bible at a Christian high school in Nashville, TN. During that time, I also coached the varsity boys track and cross country teams. Here I found my real quest for the next twenty years, connecting the Bible to the hearts of high school students. Toward the end of that time, I felt the Holy Spirit’s urgings to pursue a new quest, one that would involve connecting the Bible to the hearts of men. Despite my initial fears and objections, my community encouraged me to begin something new. So in 2012, I left full-time teaching to begin Landmark Journey Ministries.

For the last twelve years, I have seen God open many new and wonderful doors. But the most compelling new opportunity was the chance to be trained as a spiritual director. I love doing this ministry and participating with the Holy Spirit in what He is doing in a someone's life. I often leave my times of spiritual direction feeling wonder at seeing God’s hand at work in our sessions. I work with men only as that is my specific calling. My general emphases in direction are helping men structure silence with God, articulation of core desires, healing from past traumas, imaginative prayer, and learning to hear Jesus' voice. I can also guide someone through the Ignatian Exercises as their spiritual director.

I am a certified spiritual director through the Institute of Christian Spirituality, a part of Lipscomb University. I am also the author of three books: Landmarks (B&H, 2013), Divided (Thomas Nelson, 2015), and Heroic (B&H, 2019).

For those not in the Nashville area, I can offer spiritual direction online. An initial session is offered free of charge. If you want read more about my work as a spiritual director, go to the ministry website at https://landmarkjourneyministries.com/spiritual-direction

About Me

I believe everyone has a sacred story. I love to create an open space by inviting others into honest dialogue about their narrative, whether that includes celebration, grief or the many experiences in between. As a bi-racial woman, I am particularly passionate about working with folks as they engage and sort through the various aspects of their identity, be it cultural, racial, spiritual, gender, roles, personality, etc. As the mother of two neurodivergent girls, I look for how God works through family of origin dynamics and I love to learn from the wonder of children as they discover life. Currently, I am delighting in my work with ongoing directees and being home with my kids after school. Some of my other topics of interest include: my dogs (and all dogs!), attachment theory, foster care and adoption, the Enneagram, trauma's impact on people, and human development. My practice offers the integration of traditional and non-traditional prayer practices, creative expression, and spiritual temperament analysis. I received my Masters in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from the Institute for Spiritual Formation in Southern California in 2012 and have been in practice ever since.

About Me

I enjoy creating spacious places for people to reflect, rest and experience restoration and growth. One of my deep desires is to see people transformed by their encounters with Jesus and their experiences in community in such a way that there is lasting change and noticeable outward expressions of joy, satisfaction and abundant life!

I am a trained spiritual director since May 2017 and completed my Masters in Spiritual Formation and Direction at Evangelical Seminary in May 2018.

About Me

Before becoming a certified spiritual director through Sustainable Faith, I journeyed with missionaries, special needs students, and at-risk adults in my career and volunteering. My heart is for those particularly on ‘the fringes’ to know and embrace the tender love of the Beloved. I have been miraculously healed of various medical calamities shaping my faith and ideas of the Divine.

I continue to grow into a gentle, welcoming soul with a joyfully creative and child-like spirit primarily through spiritual practices. One of my favorite things is walking with those who long to know Abba’s immense love, beauty and grace more completely. Listening is a cherished honor and I long to do it with compassion and empathy. After completing training to lead others through the Ignatian Exercises, I've enjoyed this intimate journey and look forward to traveling it with others!

My husband, Kenny, a licensed counselor specializing in trauma and a pastor of small church, and I live in Grand Lake, Colorado. Together we have led worship and small groups and participated in prayer ministries in various church and ministry settings throughout our almost 30-year marriage. I am blessed with 3 amazing step sons, 2 beautiful daughters-in-law and 2 grandchildren. I enjoy spending time in God’s creation, time with others, reading, singing, painting and dancing!

About Me

The invitation to go deeper with God came through my dog, Ollie. When my youngest children got on the bus for Kindergarten, I would take long walks with Ollie, my first dog ever. God began to warm my dog-fearing heart toward this much-bigger-than-I-had-wanted dog. As we walked, God began to unpack a painful childhood moment that had caused me to fear dogs and was hiding a deeper fear of abandonment. As he removed the fear of dogs, other childhood wounds began to surface and the Lord began to heal me in unexpected ways. I began to experience a hunger for a more intimate connection with the God who knows and heals us. But I wasn’t sure how to find this.

Growing up in church, I developed a love for God and a desire to serve him as a child. I pursued higher education at Taylor University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School which would prepare me for ministry and church service. After finishing seminary, I spent several years on staff with a campus ministry. And then when my husband and I had our 4 children, I stayed home to care for them. During that time, I volunteered actively in children’s ministry and women’s ministry, teaching, leading Bible studies and speaking for events and retreats. I loved studying the Bible and helping others to grow in their understanding of God and His word. But after many busy years of serving, I reached a place where I was becoming burned out on doing for the Lord and hungering to be closer to the Lord. I have always been interested in Spiritual Formation but I was finding that my usual ways for spiritual growth through ministry and service weren’t working for me.

One day while driving to visit my dad, with whom I helped with caregiving, I heard an invitation through a radio program to pursue a Certificate in Spiritual Formation at Moody Bible Institute. That invitation came at a time of exhaustion from parenting, caring for my dad and serving in the church. It tugged at the desire that had been surfacing in me during those walks with my dog to experience more freedom and joy in my relationship with God. So, I took the invitation and enrolled! During the Moody Spiritual Formation program, I was first introduced to the ministry of Spiritual Direction. I was amazed at the ministry of listening deeply to one another together with the Holy Spirit. I continued on into the Spiritual Direction program at Moody, desiring to create space for others to experience more freedom, healing and joy in their relationship with God. Recently, I have been training in the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises and am excited to be able to lead others through this faith-deepening school of prayer. I love to journey with other seekers in pursuing a deeper connection with God in the midst of life.

About Me

"Where is God when life hurts?" is a question that drove me into spiritual direction in 2003. My 19-year experience with my own director helped answer that question. I learned to know God in broader and deeper ways. I experienced God as an embracing and loving being rather than judge. I grew into an inner spaciousness that has allowed me to more clearly recognize the presence of the Divine in my life, and I have developed a joy in more closely observing how God really does work in mysterious and unanticipated ways. It has been a long journey that led me to training as a spiritual director (Kairos, Lancaster PA) so that I could be a companion to others on a quest for something more in the spiritual life.

My professional background includes graduate degrees in Family Studies, Counseling, and Behavioral Health Nursing and certificates in rational emotive therapy, health care ethics, and trauma-informed therapy. I had a private practice in therapy, although I no longer practice as a therapist. I taught psychiatric nursing for 30 years and bioethics and leadership for 10 years. After a life-shifting event around 2000-2004, I have focused on deepening faith in my Sustainer and Comforter. I have worked with diverse groups of people through 30 years of working in denominations (in the US and the UK) of several different persuasions, as well as in therapy. I believe that God calls us first to a position of love and grace. From that space of love and grace we can listen together, reflect, and discern the presence of the Holy One for greater healing and peace.

About Me

I have recently retired from parish ministry after serving with four different congregations (two church plants and two established faith communities) for nearly forty years. I received my training in spiritual direction from Selah (Leadership Transformations).

My approach to spiritual direction is biblical in foundation, contemplative in style, and Trinitarian in theology. Nothing gives me greater joy than walking with others in living into the relationship into which we have been invited by the Trinity and experiencing the ""aha"" moments in that relationship.

As a spiritual director I view my role as a ""co-discerner"" with brothers and sisters in Christ as we listen carefully together to discover the Lord's will and grow more and more into Christlikeness. What a humbling privilege and honor!

About Me

I deeply value creating space for myself and others to notice what God is doing in our lives. Meaningful conversation over a cup of something is a highlight of my day. As a spiritual director my current focus is on individual and small group direction, reflective retreats and other spiritually formational opportunities. (See www.QuietReflection.org).
From 1993-2013, I served on the leadership team for the National Network of Youth Ministries, particularly in the spiritual formation of Christian leaders. I am a licensed minister, served as Vanguard University’s Co-Campus Pastor (2003-2006), trained for two years in spiritual direction with Christian Formation & Direction Ministries (2007-2008), and now focus on journeying with others as we grow in a more attentive life with God, ourselves and others.
My involvement in both church and para-church ministry has encompassed most of my adult life. I'm forever grateful for the few treasured friends who provide a place of realness for me...realness about my own joys AND challenges. Because of these few, I love creating safe space for others to honestly voice their own struggles, questions and joys in their everyday life and ministries.
Married to Mike for 45+ years and living in Costa Mesa, CA, I enjoy hiking, bicycling, reading, gardening, time with friends, cooking, trying new restaurants, and especially our frequent, noisy, messy, usually delightful dinner at our home with kids and grandkids!

About Me

I consider it a privilege when someone shares part of their journey with me in the spiritual direction relationship. I know that God is present with each person that I meet with, and I love creating space for Him to continue to reveal His heart to him or her.

I've been trained through the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology and graduated with my M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in May 2013. I have also served as a pastor at an evangelical church, and I lead trips to Israel with Azusa Pacific University. I am currently in doctoral program to become a psychotherapist.

About Me

My goal as a spiritual director is to direct your attention to the things of the Spirit. Maybe you’re in recovery from trauma or addiction and wrestling with a Higher Power who does not feel safe. Maybe you’re in the throes of deconstructing harmful messages you received from the church in years past. Maybe you’re after God’s heart, and you need just enough quiet to be still and listen.

Wherever you are, it would be an honor to join you. I’ve been trained both formally and in the fires of my own pain to recognize the Spirit’s movement in our daily experience. I would love to walk alongside you and help direct your attention, like a tour guide on a long hike directs your attention to things that are beautiful and noteworthy. In spiritual direction we seek to experience Immanuel, God with us, in the wilderness. The hope is that the reality of that communion will train our eyes to see God’s hand in all areas of our journey.

About Me

Laura is a passionate, creative, and encouraging spiritual director whose direction style is highly relational, story-driven and organic. Laura’s clients have shared that being in Spiritual Direction with her is a transformational experience in which they’ve been able to hear the truth in love, while being loved and seen by someone they trust deeply cares.

Laura loves assisting others in the spiritual awakening process, by guiding them to dig into their own stories and find the intersections in which their story meets God’s. Laura loves music and being artistic through most of the creative arts. She is an equal opportunity foodie, and enjoys a great burger just as much as a scrumptious salad as long as the flavors are great. She enjoys spending time with God by walking in nature or through musical worship, and is currently dwelling with the words of Isaiah 43:1-5 in her personal formation.

About Me

As a native of Colorado, I love to ski and hike and do most everything the Rocky Mountains provide.

My understanding of God began as a college student, where I learned about prayer, bible study, and knowing God desires a close friendship with everyone, everywhere.

God reoriented my life so much during this time that after graduation and marrying my husband, Dave, we joined the staff of a worldwide interdenominational Christian ministry. The majority of the past 37 years found us working with college students, but recently working with professors.

I understand the complexities of being married to a ministry leader while juggling the demands of children and ministry as I served alongside my husband and raised our three children. Now we are experiencing the joys of an empty nest and relating to our adult children and grandchild.

After a “dark night of the soul” season, I attended Ruth Haley Barton’s Transforming Center and received a Certificate in Spiritual Transformation. More than a certificate though, I learned new ways to open my heart to the work of God's Spirit and receiving the dark night as God tenderly leading me to deeper places with Him. My spiritual director was instrumental in helping me process this change.

My training in spiritual direction took place through Listening People to Life in Sioux Falls, SD. At the same time I attended Sioux Falls Seminary and earned a Master of Bible & Theology with and emphasis in Intercultural Studies.

My ministry experience includes evangelism and discipleship, teaching both small and large groups, and coaching international missionaries. I've led others in leadership development and understanding in emotional health. I enjoy leading spiritual and prayer retreats.

I understand a spiritual director to be a fellow companion, whose role is not to direct, but walk alongside through prayer, listening, questions, and spiritual practices.

As you find yourself longing for more, seeking God in the desert places, processing life changes and transitions, discerning next steps, or simply wanting to be more attuned to the voice of God, I offer you a sacred companion along your journey of life.

About Me

I am a minister and spiritual director in the Pacific Northwest seeking to serve and support people in the way of Jesus.

I care deeply for people who are looking for spiritual support within and beyond the church in pursuit of growth, healing, and connection. I have walked with men and women; young and old; church leaders, church members, and those who don’t go to church.

I trained in spiritual direction at Portland Seminary, received a Master of Divinity from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, studied biblical text at Abilene Christian University, and currently serve as minister at the Federal Way Church of Christ.

I am also a certified ©iEnneagram Motions of the Soul practitioner, trained in utilizing the Enneagram as a tool for transformation, discernment, and spiritual growth. If you are interested, I would be glad to utilize the Enneagram in our sessions.

My desire as a spiritual director is to journey with you in reflecting deeply on your life, becoming more aware of God’s presence in the midst of it, and encouraging you to live from that place.

You can learn more on my website below or schedule a free interest conversation here: https://tidycal.com/drewdixon/sd-interest

About Me

Journeying with others is a joy, I have been offering Spiritual Direction since 2004. I graduated with an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in 2005. Walking with another as we listen for the Holy Spirit's leading is something I feel called too. I often journey with those struggling with sexual brokenness due to my own story and the other trainings in trauma I have been through. It is not easy un-raveling the way we interact with God and how that has been shaped by our own experiences in relationship. It's a humble gift to walk with another as they seek to have a deeper relationship with God.

About Me

A curious posture is a learning posture and our lives have much wisdom to teach us when we make open space for them.
