If not spiritual direction, then what?
Perhaps you feel something needs attention in your life relating to personal or spiritual growth, but spiritual mentoring may not be what you need now. Test your particular needs through the following questions and suggestions:

Am I looking for "how to's" in developing a prayer life? Or a group I can share and pray with? 
Consider: Spiritual formation groups; church prayer groups

Are there areas of my life calling for focused healing prayer?
Consider: Local church healing services; church prayer groups

Am I seeking moral, biblical, or theological guidance for my life?
Consider: Church leadership and groups; talk with your pastor

Do I want to deepen my theological understanding or explore the possibilities of lay ministry?
Consider: The Parish Lay Ministry Academy

Are there specific problem areas of my life or troubling emotions siphoning off energy?
Consider: Counseling or therapy; 12-Step Groups

Do I feel the need for "spiritual friends" with whom I can have an informal mutual relationship of prayer, sharing and support?
Consider: Via de Cristo "small groups" (anyone is welcome, regardless of VdC experience--talk to your pastor or Ultreya rector)
