“ Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. ( John 4:13-14)”

Who are we?
We are a contemplative community, centred in Christ, rooted in the ancient practice of spiritual direction, and committed to the care of souls. We cultivate an oasis of hospitality.
We value being regularly present to one another, to God, to ourselves and others through an intentional time of silent meditation followed by sharing together. This nurtures our practice of accountability, honesty, compassion, deference to one another, and capacity to wait on God in discernment.
We attend to what draws us more deeply into life as a community, so that our mission may be carried out in the same spirit.
By God’s grace and in the power of the Holy Spirit we offer spiritual direction to cultivate mature Christian disciples and intentional faith communities. We both advocate for this ministry and offer, in a contemplative mode, individual spiritual direction, communal discernment, workshops and retreats.
The Spiritual Directors Group meets once every six weeks. To learn more about Spiritual Directors and the Spiritual Direction process in the Diocese contact Marilyn Wray, spiritualdirectiongroup@montreal.anglican.ca (Chair of the group)
*The Amaryllis
“We have adopted the symbol of the Amaryllis as it speaks to us of the depth and height of this work of Spiritual Direction; recognizing that the beauty of who we are in Christ is rooted and grounded in the love of God through the Power of the Holy Spirit.”
