What is Group Spiritual Direction?
Group spiritual direction is a structured, confidential gathering of individuals who come together to support one another in deepening their relationship with God through shared listening, reflection, and discernment.
Two formats for group spiritual direction are available at Pathways. Both of these meet monthly from Sept/Oct through May/June.
Groups will be facilitated by spiritual directors in the Pathways Transformational Network

- Inner Soul Groups blend group spiritual direction with intentional times of silence and solitude. Each group meets for six hours. The morning is dedicated to prayer and personal silence/solitude, followed by group spiritual direction in the afternoon. Groups typically have six members.
- Spiritual Direction Groups usually consist of four participants and meet for two hours. During each session, two participants share while the others listen attentively and offer reflections on what they notice.

How do I get involved?
You may complete the interest form as an individual. Once enough participants are available to form a group, you will be informed of the other group members and the facilitator. Your consent will be requested before the group is finalized. After the group is confirmed, the facilitator will contact all members to schedule meeting times.
You may also register as part of an existing group. If you’d like to experience spiritual direction with people you already know, talk with them and complete the interest form, listing each participant’s name. A facilitator will be recommended for your group. Once everyone agrees on the facilitator, the facilitator will schedule meeting times.
