GUIDING YOU TOWARDS YOUR 'TRUE NORTH'
​
We all have an inner compass (a still small voice) that seeks to guide us towards our true 'north.' Having someone who can mindfully listen to your longings and struggles, as well as your hopes and dreams, in ways that help you discover and honor your true 'north' can make all the difference in your ability to accomplish your goals and live into your created purpose with a sense of inter-connectedness and passion.
​
What makes Contemplative Spiritual Direction different from other forms of counseling is the foundational assumption that there is already a sacred pulse (the Spirit) at work within you that seeks to drive the trajectory of your life towards life-giving purpose and meaningful connection with God, self, and others.
​
Our vision and mission for
Contemplative Spiritual Direction and Trauma-Informed Spiritual Care:
​
Our vision is to create a holistic, virtually accessible forum where people from all walks of life can experience truly restorative and integrative spiritual support that leads to wholeness in every aspect of their being.
We are committed to honoring the sacred worth of every client - without judgment or prejudice - regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion, or spiritual background.

Working with Rev. Lenora Rousseau
​
Lenora's practice is dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space for non-religious and religiously-oriented people to tune into the rhythms of grace at work in their lives as they heal from the past, thrive in the present, and faithfully follow God’s call upon their life towards a hope-filled future. She works with clergy, ministry candidates, seminary students, military service members and their families, veterans, and laity who are experiencing burnout, recovering from post traumatic stress or moral injury, processing grief, pursuing spiritual growth through self-discovery, seeking to explore spiritual questions or doubts, and/or working to discern where God is leading them next.
Lenora's nonjudgemental and affirming approach is based on a generous Christ-centered faith that seeks to listen for and help others recognize the movement within that is leading them towards the life that is theirs and theirs alone to live.
​
Is Spiritual Direction right for you if you aren't religious?
​
We believe so! P.G. Reed once offered this perspective: "Spirituality is making meaning through a sense of relatedness/connectedness to dimensions that transcend the self in a way that empowers and does not devalue the individual. The relatedness may be experienced via three dimensions: intra-personally - by having purpose, satisfaction and values; interpersonally - through giving and receiving relationships; and trans-personally - by a link with a higher power." Based on this definition, every human being can benefit from support and guidance that helps them tend to the various dimensions of their spiritual being.
​
Within each of us dwells the desire to find meaning in every moment...
to discover our true self...
to experience kindness and acceptance for ourselves and others...
to feel a deep connection to the ground of all being.
Soul companioning supports you in this journey of a lifetime.

What others say about Working with Rev. Lenora Rousseau:
Austin Council
Instructor

Often times I find myself in a rut wondering where the Spirit is leading me and whether or not God is doing much of anything in my life. However, Lenora has truly helped me see God in all things. Her active listening skills and intentional, thought-provoking questions challenge me to follow my heart and live out my authentic self.
Meghan Williams
Servant Volunteer Coordinator,
Clergy Candidate FLUMC
Working with Lenora for spiritual direction has helped me to discern how the Holy Spirit is moving in my life, calling me to act, and working to heal me of trauma that I have experienced. Lenora embodies nonjudgemental and compassionate listening. She insightfully invites me to explore areas where I might be "stuck" and then, within my own lens of faith, journeys with me as I deconstruct limiting views of myself and my faith in order to create greater flourishing with the Holy Spirit. I am forever grateful for the healing and empowering space Lenora provides during our time of spiritual direction.

Lenora has been such a blessing to me. Not just for her compassionate kind way of listening, but in the way she continues to be truly human with me. I can bring my joys and my sorrows to her and not feel judged or that she wants to fix me. Every time I interact with her, it's a feeling of support... a feeling of someone truly walking beside me in my life's journey. Whether we talk once a week, or once a day when life got difficult, or once a month, it is always a welcomed experience. She is such an uplifting presence in my life, and I am truly grateful for her guidance and love.
