Marilyn finds life and passion in practicing and leading others in spiritual practices that connect them in a deep way to God’s love. She does this one on one and also through leading small groups.

She finds it a privilege to be a companion to others, she comes with an attitude of noticing and openness to the presence of God, observing how the Spirit of God gives wisdom, encouragement, and discernment.

A recent quote in which she appreciates the simplicity and complexity of Spiritual Direction.

“Spiritual direction is, in reality, nothing more than a way of leading us to see and obey the real Director — the Holy Spirit hidden in the depths of our soul.” Thomas Merton, Trappist Monk
