spiritual direction - getting the most from your retreat
Maryl DeMilo - Spiritual Director
The journey into our soul can be tiring, and the road through life is often rocky and painful. In spiritual direction, together we will explore where God is at work in your life, and learn how to open to Him, so that you may know Him more deeply and know yourself more truthfully. One of the best parts of direction is that you don't have to be alone in your process. I desire to create a safe space to have honest conversations with God about how you are experiencing life with Him. I especially focus on feeling -with- God.
I have been practicing spiritual direction since the beginning of 2016 and have been formally trained at Talbot School of Theology in Spiritual Direction. I have experience with Celebrate Recovery and 12-step programs, which can enrich the growth of those struggling in particular areas. I seek to support those in ministry, leadership, business, those wrestling with deep questions in their faith, the grieving, and those simply wanting to grow spiritually with Jesus in the mundane. I have a working knowledge of dreams and imaginative prayer as a means to spiritual growth. I also am trained in Ignatian Spirituality and can accompany people through the exercises.
I spend my time with close friends and reading lots of books on spiritual growth and psychology. My current research topics include: anger, shame, enneagram, bodily spirituality, and the nature of power.
