University Avenue. Go Gators!

Spiritual Direction and Pastoral Counseling
Spiritual direction (
http://www.sdiworld.org/
) is available upon request with our chaplain. She is an experienced
spiritual director as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Spiritual seekers are invited to come for an hour to share what is on
their heart. Generally speaking in spiritual direction, seekers are
invited to trust their own experiences of God, integrate spirituality
into their daily lives, discern and make difficult choices, share
struggles, losses or disappointments, find encouragement and
affirmation, and grow in relationship with God, self, others and
creation.
". . .love one another, just as I have loved you." John 13:34
