Spiritual Direction is the ancient art of listening. Across the timeline of history listening to people who are stuck, frustrated, deconstructing, rebuilding and/or needing a place to be heard without judgment has been a human and still is a human need. My desire is to create a safe unhurried space where therapeutic listening happens. I look at Spiritual Direction as a "permission giving" of sorts. What I mean by that is...there is nothing you might say that would shock me, there is no doubt or pain expressed that would cause me to think less of you. In this way there is nothing off limits in our time together, we together, create a safe place to explore our lives, the reasons we do what we do, and make space for more awareness and presence. I have an MA, SF at George Fox University and also received my certification from GFU. My specialties are Enneagram, Transformational Life workshops (this is curriculum I wrote for my Masters in Spiritual Formation at George Fox and have taught numerous times at the Bridge Church where I pastored for over 7 years), I am an expert in Jungian Intensive Journaling, Body, mind, spirit connection. I write curriculum and lead classes around rage, anger grief and loss (giving permission to feel all our feelings, not just the convenient ones), team building and spiritual formation workshops, as well. I also teach archery and labyrinth as a spiritual/meditative practice. Most Spiritual Direction happens on a monthly basis. Please don't feel confined by this. If something comes up and you would like to meet more frequently, for a period of time please e-mail me or call me and we can discuss the different options available to you. When we are just beginning to meet together I find it is better to meet weekly for the first two or more visits and then taper off to meeting on a monthly basis, unless you prefer otherwise. This gives us a chance to get to know each other and makes our times together run more smoothly. If you find it valuable, in your situation, to meet every week or every other, I am open to that as well. I meet with many people internationally. This can be tricky with time differences, but not impossible to figure out. If you are looking for a safe listening ear please email me and set something up today! Warmly,
Angie Fadel MA, SF
