Spiritual Direction
Journey to the Ninth Wave
Mediaeval Irish wisdom tells us that when we sail to the precipice of the ninth wave, we come face-to-face with the Otherworld. Here we ride the liminal waters that mix the conscious and unconscious realities, and we encounter truths so deep that they can only be told of in poetry and art. Sitting astride the ninth wave, we call into the Sacred Infinite and it dances before us.
Spiritual director, Bryce, encourages you to set your boat upon the seas and to journey to the edge of your own soul’s ninth wave through the art of spiritual direction. Bryce is committed to holding space for you, joining you in your boat and among the waves, as you navigate your own sacred life.
Spiritual Direction
Also called spiritual companionship, spiritual direction is a relationship that deepens how we connect our bodies, minds, and spirits to the Sacred. As someone trained in many ways of noticing, listening to, and experiencing the Sacred, a spiritual director holds space that invites you to explore your relationship with what you hold most holy. Spiritual direction invites you to recognize how the Sacred shows up in your daily routine, to journey to the places of Mystery where you meet the Holy, and to embody the experience of living a sacred life.
Spiritual direction has roots in many ancient and modern cultures, religions, and wisdom traditions. People of all and no religious beliefs find value in spiritual direction.
Meet Bryce
My life is a journey to experience how the Sacred erupts into our personal and collective lives. I find myself grounded in the Western Mystery traditions and open to where the Sacred calls me. A mystic at heart, I combine my deep-held love for the Ineffable with my training in clinical spiritual care to offer empathic, connected, and embodied spiritual support. I am a professional hospice chaplain, working in southwest Wisconsin.
I’m committed to providing ethical spiritual direction in accordance with Spiritual Directors International’s Guidelines of Ethical Conduct.
Spiritual Direction with Bryce
Frequency
I offer one-hour spiritual direction sessions via Zoom. New clients are asked to commit to one session per month for three months. After the first three months, clients may schedule more or fewer sessions per month as needed.
Cost
I use a “pay from the heart” model, as developed by Mark Silver. This model encourages you to “check in with your heart and find out what feels right.” My standard request is $75 per session. If you can pay more than that, you are helping me support those who can pay less. My minimum request is $50 per session, unless this puts food and shelter at risk. If that is the case, please consult with me.
