Happy New Year!

With celebration and introspection, the beginning of a new year is a time to look forward, back, and enter deeply into the gift of the present, in the here and now of creation. 

Spiritual guidance is a gift to seekers during new beginnings and in ordinary time ...

"The object of spiritual direction is to cultivate one’s ability to discern God’s presence in one’s life — to notice and appreciate moments of holiness, to maintain an awareness of the interconnectedness of all things, to explore ways to be open to the Blessed Holy One in challenging and difficult moments as well as in joyful ones. The [spiritual] director serves as a companion and witness, someone who helps you (sometimes with questions, sometimes just by listening) to discern the divine where you might have missed it and to integrate that awareness into your daily life, your tefillah, your tikkun olam work, your study, your ritual practice." --Rabbi Jacob Staub, Jewish, USA 

Happy New Year!
