Spiritual Direction Client Agreement

What is Spiritual Direction?  

Spiritual direction is the process of spiritual accompaniment through contemplative listening, in a one-on-one trusting and confidential relationship. As your spiritual director, I will listen and bear witness to your experiences with an ear for the movement of the spirit, the presence of the sacred. I will hold space for you to explore, discern, develop, deepen, or perhaps question your spiritual path. Sessions often begin in silence, offering an opportunity to drop in  and attune to what is present for you. Different from a therapy session which focuses on the client and the therapist, in spiritual direction sessions, we also invite in the presence of the sacred. The spiritual director is there to hold space for the client and their relationship with the sacred.

My lineage/Who I serve

I trained as a spiritual director with Still Harbor, a non-denominational, queer and trans led spiritual direction program focused on spiritual accompaniment for those working towards collective liberation. I am also a Kohenet/Hebrew Priestess, I was ordained with the title: Merapeit al Pnei Zman, She Who Heals Across Time.  

I draw on my own lineage, my connection to the sacred, the earth and to my bright and benevolent ancestors. I am called to serve all those on the path to collective liberation.    

Confidentiality

Spiritual Direction is a confidential relationship and the director agrees to keep all information strictly confidential, except in those situations in which such confidentiality would violate the law or could jeopardize the safety of the client or others.

Structure & Pace of sessions

I currently offer virtual sessions using Google Meet. Sessions are generally 60 minutes, once a month. The time between sessions is space for you to explore, practice, reflect on what comes up during our time together. 

Payment & Scheduling
I offer a sliding scale, my rates can be found here.  Please review the rates and choose a sliding scale level that works for you.

I accept payment by Venmo or Zelle in advance of each session.

Once you are an established client, my strong preference is to book and schedule a package of 6-12 sessions in advance. This allows me to give you a regular monthly time and saves us both the monthly hassle of scheduling. 

Cancellations

Each person agrees to inform the other of the need to cancel an appointment. Except in emergencies, this cancellation will be given no less than 24 hours prior to an appointment. If the client cancels with less than 24 hours notice, or if the client misses a scheduled appointment, the client agrees to pay the session fee.
