Spiritual
Direction with Paula Mitchell
ONE HOUR SESSIONS ONCE/MONTH
($60-$100)
Spiritual Direction is an
on-going monthly relationship
specifically for the purpose of
becoming more attuned to God’s
presence in order to respond
more fully to what God is doing
in all of life. Eugene
Peterson, a pastor, author and
professor of Christian
spirituality, described it this
way,“It is teaching people to
pray, to discern the presence of
grace in events and feelings,
affirming the presence of God at
the heart of life, sharing a
search for light through a dark
passage, guiding the formation
of a self-understanding that is
biblically spiritual instead of
merely psychological or
sociological…. It is “space to
explore the everyday
ordinariness for the presence of
God and workings of grace”,
precisely at those times when
“nothing seems to be
happening”. If you are
looking for this type of
relationship—Paula would love to
come alongside you to help
create a space where your desire
for deeper intimacy is
encouraged and nurtured; where
you’re invited to discover more
of who God is and who you are as
we explore God’s presence in
your questions, challenges,
doubts and deepest
desires. Paula is a
certified spiritual director
through the ministry of
Christian Formation and
Direction Ministries. She
has been a Spiritual Director
for 17 years and has taught in
the CFDM Spiritual Director
training program since 2008.

Supervision
with Paula Mitchell
ONE HOUR SESSIONS ONCE/MONTH
($75-$100)
The only way you can become a
good spiritual director is by
personal transformation,
transformation from a novice to
a skilled practitioner in the
field. William Barry reminds us,“This
doesn’t happen by book
learning or by consultation
alone. They help, but
the most important way is by
giving spiritual direction
and by being very honest
about what is happening in
you as you give spiritual
direction. In supervision
you face your own demons,
your own insecurities, your
own lack of faith in God,
your own resistance to
getting into a more intimate
friendship with God.” In
supervision you share what
happened to you as you were with
your directee. The focus is on
you and your experience as you
were doing spiritual direction.
This is vital for your growth
and development as a spiritual
director. Paula received
her certificate in Supervision
at the Mercy Center in
Burlingame California in
2008. She has supervised
individuals and groups in the
CFDM Spiritual Direction
certificate program since 2008.
