Listening to Soul

Gretchen Meyer, MA

Spiritual Director

Spiritual Direction is an ancient tradition that has experienced a revival in recent years.  Many years ago when I was wading my way through a spiritual crisis, a friend suggested I find a spiritual director.  It was a gift in two important ways.

First, my meetings with my spiritual director helped me find my spiritual ground.  Second, I discovered my calling. 

I have been a Spiritual Director since 1999. My work is inclusive, interfaith, and welcoming.  In addition to meditation and prayer, my listening with you may include the wisdom of your dreams, your Enneagram, your Myers-Briggs type, Bio-Spiritual Focusing and Reiki energy healing.

It is a privilege to listen and witness the sacred story of your journey toward wholeness. 

I can meet with you in Portland or Vancouver or via Skype.  (Isn’t technology amazing!)   Ask about my sliding scale fee schedule and complimentary informational session.

Supervision: I also offer one-on-one and group supervision for Spiritual Directors.  May we transform our issues and wounds so we do not transmit them.

When someone deeply listens to you
it is like holding out a dented cup
you’ve had since childhood
and watching it fill up with
cold, fresh water.
When it balances on top of the brim,
you are understood.
When it overflows and touches your skin,
you are loved.

When someone deeply listens to you,
the room where you stay
starts a new life
and the place where you wrote
your first poem begins to glow in your mind’s eye.
It is as if gold has been discovered!

When someone deeply listens to you,
your bare feet are on the earth
and a beloved land that seemed distant
is now at home within you.
