Spiritual Direction: Robin Cameron, Spiritual Director
Spiritual Direction is not so much about being "directed" as it is taking an opportunity to draw closer to God, becoming aware of God's action in one's daily life and having a more conscious experience of God's love. This includes building trust in and identifying one's own experience of God, integrating spirituality into daily life, discernment, sharing encouragement and affirmation, growth in relationship to God, self, others and all creation. The journey takes place in the context of confidential, one-on-one or group sessions with the spiritual director. Contact Robin at 928-300-6144 or Margaret Swavely 928-282-2080.
