What is Spiritual Direction?
“Spiritual Direction is a one-on-one relationship organized around prayer and conversations directed toward deepening intimacy with God. Spiritual Directors seek to help those with whom they journey discern the presence and leading of the Spirit of God -the One Jesus sent as our true Spiritual Director. “ - David Benner, Sacred Companions
As a Spiritual Director, I am here to create a hospitable space for you to rest in God as you grow in your awareness of his presence and activity in your life. Through prayerful-listening and companionship, spiritual direction offers a safe and encouraging space to discern God’s voice and respond to his invitations.
About Brenda
Welcome to Noticing the Holy. My name is Brenda Westfall. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am currently enrolled in the Selah Certificate of Spiritual Direction Training Program through Leadership Transformations Inc. Selah is a two year program where I am being trained and equipped to become a Spiritual Director. I have been meeting with my own Spiritual Director monthly for over 10 years. I have found spiritual direction to be a supportive and affirming companionship that has helped me to perceive God’s movement and invitations in my life. I am delighted that God has invited me to pursue this training so that I may accompany others on their journey. If you are interested in a complimentary introductory session, I would love to meet you. Appointments are available in-person or over zoom. Please reach out via the contact form below.

“Something very deep and mysterious, very holy and sacred, is taking place in our lives right where we are, and the more attentive we become the more we will begin to see and hear it. The more our spiritual sensitivities come to the surface of our daily lives, the more we will discover—uncover—a new presence in our lives.”
Henri Nouwen
I’d love to hear from you.
