“As a holy listener …. I have to put myself out of the way, to become humble in the true sense of knowing my place in the order of God’s creation …. above, all, I must be reverent, for I am entrusted with something precious and tender.” (Margaret Guenther)

This is the essence of spiritual direction. Enjoy a conversation between Gem Fadling and Beth Booram, who is a seasoned spiritual director. Here are the questions discussed:

•	What is your favorite definition of spiritual direction?

•	Describe for me the art of listening to God and the other person at the same time?

•	How do you develop the skill of asking good questions?

•	What are the benefits of spiritual direction?

•	What do you talk about with a spiritual director?

•	When is a good time in life for someone to seek spiritual direction?

•	What is one piece of advice you would give to a practicing spiritual director?

•	What is one piece of advice you would give to someone who is currently in a spiritual direction relationship?
