Educators who have a deep faith positively impact the young people entrusted to their care. Often, educators will use their faith as a source of nourishment to sustain their ministry. However, many find themselves feeling “burnt out,” isolated in their faith and unsure of where to turn. Spiritual direction can be an antidote to these feelings. Spiritual direction, also called spiritual companioning, is a contemplative practice. It is a way to grow and deepen one’s faith, regardless of background, tradition or past experiences. It is a confidential, professional and sacred relationship between two people who journey together to discover how the Divine is moving in their life.
Through this webinar for the 2025 year of Lasallian spirituality, Holly explains spiritual direction as a contemplative practice. She uses Saint John Baptist de La Salle’s life as an example of someone who was committed to spiritual direction and the contemplative life as a way of maintaining his ministry. Finally, she leads participants through a prayer experience as a glimpse into a spiritual direction conversation.
