Meet Spiritual Direction Colorado
We're practicing spiritual directors from several faith traditions who support professional colleagues, encourage vocational development and foster greater awareness of spirituality and accessibility of spiritual companioning throughout Colorado. Our team is a volunteer, working committee committed to a creative mission serving faith communities and the wider society.

An image of holistic mission We operate in
four subcommittees related to continuing education, publicity, networking and congregational formationundefinedreading clockwise beginning with Contemplative Learning & Growth. This little petal graphic helps us keep a holistic picture of the aim of these four arenas of service. After
centering ourselves by reflection on scripture and prayerful care for each other as an intentional community, our
monthly meetings focus on current work in these four arenas.
We rely on other volunteers to extend our reach. If you're interested in any of these arenas of service, be in touch. We'd like to talk about how we might work together.
