Welcome to ABiDE Spiritual Direction with Vanessa
JOURNEY WITH ME
You don’t have to come with answers.
You don’t have to be “put together.”
You simply come as you are.
A gentle beginning.
Spiritual Direction
A spacious place to listen for God.
Spiritual direction is an unhurried, Christ‑centred conversation focused on noticing God’s presence in your real life — your joys, challenges, desires, and discernment.
A session may include:
Retreat Offerings
Guided Retreats
Guided Retreats offer a structured, prayerful rhythm where you gather 2–3 times a day for Scripture, reflection, and shared listening. These can be day retreats or multi‑day retreats, giving you space to slow down, re‑centre, and pay attention to God’s movement. Between group times, you’ll have personal space for prayer, journaling, rest, and silence.
Silent Retreats
Silent Retreats create space to step away from noise and enter a deeper stillness with God. Most of the retreat is held in silence, with one spiritual direction session each day to help you notice and name what is emerging in prayer.
Confidentiality
Your story is sacred.
Everything shared is held in confidence, except where safety is at risk.
