Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious
life? --from
the poem "The Summer Day" by Mary Oliver
Sometimes people come to spiritual direction for one
specific purpose: to discover their life's work, whether that means a job in the marketplace, working in one's
home, or a new purpose in retirement. In spiritual direction, the question becomes, "What is God's desire for my
life's work?"
This question is at the heart of vocational discernment, a spiritual practice that helps
a person sift and sort through facts, feelings and intuition in order to come to some clarity around their vocation.
A spiritual director can help a person do the sifting and sorting. We ask the important questions that help you clarify
where and how you are being invited by God to action in the world. We will point you to time-tested traditions and principles
that have helped many other people over the ages discern what God's desire was for them.
Teresa has experience
in the field of vocational discernment, working with the Fund for Theological Education's "Volunteers Exploring Vocation" project for the last two years.
