We believe the soul’s journey is to be traveled in community. Spiritual Direction offers a sacred, intentional space where individuals come together to listen—not just to one another, but to the deeper movement of the spirit in their lives.
In these small circles of two or more gathered together, we cultivate a global community of seekers who are committed to the quiet work of reflection, discovery, and mutual support.
Spiritual Direction is a unique practice of "holy listening." In a world that is often loud and rushed, these Spiritual Direction Groups provide a sanctuary of silence and presence. Guided by a skilled facilitator, members share their spiritual experiences while others offer the gift of prayerful, welcoming attention.
This process honors the diversity of the human experience and creates a bridge between different cultures, traditions, and life stories, fostering a sense of global kinship.
Our Values in the Circle
Our Spiritual Direction circles are governed by the foundational pillars of the Universalist Community of Hope:
We create a "brave space" of radical hospitality, where every spiritual path, doubt, and tradition is met with grace-filled welcome.
By listening to the stories of others within a global context, we challenge our own perspectives and deepen our spiritual maturity.
The clarity and peace found in the circle empower us to return to the world with a renewed commitment to serve our communities with love and integrity.
We recognize that the right "fit" is essential for spiritual growth. For those seeking additional individual accompaniment or specialized group work, the Universalist Community of Hope curates a global spiritual director referral network representing a wide array of theological backgrounds and cultural perspectives.
Whether you are looking for a director who specializes in interfaith dialogue, indigenous wisdom, specific spiritual or cultural identities, secular spirituality, or another area of growth, we help bridge the gap to find the companion your soul requires.
