With a background in missions, nursing and counselling, it was only quite recently in the 2000’s that I learned about the formal practice of Spiritual Direction and subsequently completed the Art of Spiritual Direction course at Brisbane, Stillpoint Centre in 2017-2018. For me, with my tendency to want to problem solve and fix, Spiritual Direction has not only been personally transformative in ‘finding rest for my soul’, but also informs my way of being with others whether in companioning in spiritual direction, partial care, or everyday relationships. Married to Philip for 30 years, we have two children and two grandchildren who are 3 years and 16 months of age.
