What Is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Directors Listing for the Diocese of Alabama

The individuals listed in this document responded to a “call for information,” which simply requested contact information for individuals offering spiritual direction in the geographical area of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama.

It is the responsibility of the individual seeking spiritual direction to: (1) ask the Spiritual Director about his/her/their training for thisministry and (2) to determine if any given Spiritual Director is the right match.

Most Spiritual Directors charge a fee (or request a donation to one of their favorite charities).  Fees/donations typically start at $50/session.

The listing also includes Spiritual Directors in training and is designated as such within the listing. Spiritual Directors in training with Metagem Institute are in their second year of the program and on track to receive certification. They have completed at least half of the program requirements; are in the geographical area of the Episcopal Church in Alabama, and typically request smaller fees or donations, unless they have previous related experience.
