May Reflection
A Time of Rebirth
Jon Gottsegen

Spring flowers are blooming. Trees are leafing out. The world is springing into life (see what I did there?), and the small glory of the tree blossoms and lilac blooms provide a salve for the state of the world. It is the rebirth of the world, the “flaring forth”, the conspicuous expression of recreation that is, according to many traditions, actually happening all of the time.
Many traditions have birth or rebirth stories at this time of year. In Judaism, Passover, the liberation from slavery, was the birth of the Jewish people. Now we are in the time between liberation and revelation, the holiday of Shavuot 50 days after Passover. Pentecost is associated with Shavuot. [More]
What Does Spirituality Mean to Us?
Spirituality has to do with the spirit as in the essence of being human – your soul or your inner life. It is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Spirituality can be about a journey of transforming our spiritual, psychological and somatic aspects of ourselves to become more our true selves, who are created in the image of God. Click Here

Finding a Spiritual Director
The Spiritual Director journeys with you as you deepen your relationship with God. The journey takes place in the context of a confidential session with your Spiritual Director. The person coming for Spiritual Direction is trying to be serious about some form of intentional prayer and reflection on God's presence in everyday life. The Director is a facilitator, with God, Spirit, or Higher Power being the true Director.
Spiritual Direction Colorado is pleased to provide a list of Spiritual Directors as a resource to people throughout the state of Colorado and beyond.
