Find a Spiritual Director

Many qualities go into the formation of a spiritual director, and we encourage you to learn more on the Spiritual Directors International (SDI) web page, Portrait of a Spiritual Director.

We in the Spiritual Directors Network believe that each spiritual director, to maintain high standards of training and spiritual discipline:

    1. Must have training or experience in exploring with another the spiritual dimension of being human.
    2. Will be in spiritual direction themselves.
    3. Will also be in some form of ongoing supervision for their spiritual direction practice.

The Spiritual Directors Network does not provide training, certification, or credentials for spiritual directors. The directors who choose to advertise on our site are not pre-screened by SDN, nor are they evaluated in any way. By accessing the list provided, the reader accepts the responsibility for interviewing and selecting a suitable spiritual director.  (adapted from Spiritual Directors International).

As you begin to seek your own spiritual director, you may wish to interview more than one before settling on a director who seems to be a good fit. The SDI website also offers a list of questions that you might want to explore during your initial interview to help you discern whether this is the right spiritual direction relationship for you.


Below you will find a directory of spiritual directors in mid-Michigan who are members of the Spiritual Directors Network. For more information about each director, see our SDN director bios.
