Spiritual Direction:

Searching for the Holy in every day life

Offerings

  • 1 on 1 Spiritual Direction

    One on one spiritual direction allows spacious time to examine life. Can you sense God’s presence in your life? What questions are you struggling with? Do you want to explore new spiritual practices?

    Generally, sessions are monthly for about an hour. Spiritual direction can happen via Zoom, in Nashville or in Brentwood, based on your schedule. The first session is a discovery session to determine if spiritual direction is right for you. The discovery session is always complimentary. Each subsequent session is $75. Scholarships are available through Woodmont Christian Church.

    Reach out to learn more or schedule a discovery session.

  • Nature Infused Listening

    Yearning for a more spacious life? Do you feel closer to God when you are in nature? Do deep, authentic friendships nourish your soul?

    Nature Infused Listening offers a new way to connect with God. It combines the ancient wisdom of clearness committees with intentional silent time in nature. With just 3 participants, these intentionally small groups allow everyone to be deeply heard.

    Groups will meet at my home in Brentwood, near Maryland Farms. Tucked back into the hills, the abundant nature allows your soul to relax. Whenever the weather allows, we will meet outside.

    Each Nature Infused Listening group will meet monthly for four months, to allow the process to deepen.

    Groups for Summer 2024 are underway. Reach out to Sandy to learn more about groups for Fall 2024.

  • Spiritual Direction on the Move

    The science is clear - walking benefits both our physical and mental health. Personally, walking also calms my spirit. If that resonates with you, consider ‘Walking’ Spiritual Direction.

    Walking spiritual direction allow you the chance to enjoy the beauty of God’s creation as we talk. Nashville offers a variety of options from well paved paths to challenging hikes. ‘Walking’ Spiritual Direction can also be combined with traditional ‘indoor’ direction.

    The discovery session is always complimentary. Each subsequent session is $75. Scholarships are available through Woodmont Christian Church.

  • Retreats

    Stepping away from the ‘to do’ list to find the ‘to be’ list can be powerful. Time away allows each of us to reflect on our lives, and renew our commitment to leading the life you want to lead. Retreats can range from a day retreat to weekend - or even a longer pilgrimage.

"Sandy has served as my spiritual mentor throughout many of the hard moments in life. Her calming presence and insightful questions guided me to untangle surface tensions and find the deeper meaning behind my uncertainties. Sandy’s knowledge of resources and spiritual practices helped me find discernment amongst the bustle of everyday distractions and left me feeling renewed and confident with a plan to guide me and keep me focused on my purpose." — Christy Brown

Let’s talk

If any of this captures your attention, please reach out. I’d be honored to spend time with you understanding what is on your heart. A ‘discovery call’ is a chance to explore what you might be seeking. An equally important question is am I the right resource for you. If not, I am happy to refer you to other wise and wonderful Spiritual Directors.

I am a lifelong member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a mainline Protestant denomination. Through my journey, I have learned from all the major World religions. To me, God is revealed in many ways and many forms. I welcome people of all faiths, races, genders and sexual identities to journey with me.
