Spiritual Direction involves a relationship in which one person assists another to recognize the presence of God in her/his life, to grow in intimacy with God, to express and develop that experience, and to make a deeper response to God and others in the context of her/his life and prayer. If you wish to meet with a spiritual director please call Weber Center at 517-266-4000 to make arrangements. Fee is negotiated with the spiritual director.
