A path without tree roots is
a forest without trees.
A life without obstacles is
no life at all.
From Nature Notes
Mary Sharon Moore
Over 20 years of Christ-centered spiritual direction
for women and men throughout the U.S., Canada, and beyond
I work with women and men, young and elders,
who feel a need to be heard, who seek a safe space in which to
hear their own voice speak their truth, who need to discern
courageous dreams and find courageous language to say
what may not make sense or be accepted by others
I accompany people who search for the beautiful questions that
energize and pivot them toward promised newness
I serve those who know, or at least hope,
there’s something more to life than what’s on offer,
who believe the Spirit is at work, though that work seems hidden
Rooted in the Catholic spiritual direction tradition,
I blend a fine-honed skill of listening with a poetic sensibility,
a deep embrace of Jesus of the Gospels,
awareness of the times in which we live,
a passion for transformative justice, and
a heartfelt commitment to the growth of each directee
into their authentic personhood

“Mary Sharon, we are using Moving in God’s Direction as a core text in my spiritual direction formation program. Every time I open it, I find more riches to highlight. I’ve got notes in the margins, and just about everything is underlined!” (A directee)
