SPIRITUAL DIRECTORS
DSF is excited to offer Spiritual Direction sessions to our students in partnership with certified spiritual directors, who are specially trained in accompanying people on their spiritual journeys. Each session is a one-on-one meeting with one of the spiritual directors listed below (other spiritual directors may be added along the way). Each DSF student may meet for spiritual direction once per month; the duration of the meetings depends on the individual spiritual director. The subsidized cost for students is $40 per session.
Dale holds a Graduate Certificate in Spiritual Direction from the University of San Diego and previously served as a Spiritual Director to DSF students and staff from 2007-2009. He is an ordained minister of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), serving 28 years as a pastor and 4 years as a hospice chaplain. Dale is well-known as a student and teacher of compassion.
Jeanne’s Spiritual Navigation clients come from diverse backgrounds and wrestle with diverse issues, including religious trauma, wounding, and ancestral healing. She is queer and intersex, and she has navigated their own evangelical trauma and wounding through years of therapy, spiritual direction, and inner work. She knows firsthand how transformational, joy-filled, and maddening the church can be.
Larry is a spiritual director/companion based in Chicago, IL. He earned his M.Div. and MTS at Claremont School of Theology and Spiritual Direction Certification through the Still Harbor Spiritual Direction Program. Currently, he is a Ph.D. student in African American Preaching and Sacred Rhetoric at Christian Theological Seminary.
