Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is a ministry of compassionate presence while seeking to understand God's ways and manifestations in the journey of life. It is a privileged time and place for a person to reflect with a spiritual director or companion about one's relationship with God. Retreat guests may meet with a spiritual director once during their stay at no cost; a suggested offering for additional sessions is $35 per session. Persons also may wish to come to Shantivanam solely to meet with a spiritual director — in that case, the suggested offering also is $35 per session. Subsidies are available for those who are not able to provide the suggested $35 offering. To make an appointment for spiritual direction, see the Reservations tab.
