Spiritual direction is a vocation rooted in presence, attention, and contemplative encounter. In The Spiritual Director, Julia Mourant invites practitioners into a deeper understanding of this sacred ministry, embracing its charism as a way of being rather than a set of skills. She explores the distinctive nature of spiritual direction as both vocation and spiritual gift, grounded in experiential formation, theological reflection, and the capacity for personal growth and transformation.
Julia Mourant has been engaged in spiritual accompaniment for over 30 years, most recently as Programme Leader in Spiritual Direction at Sarum College, Salisbury. In semi-retirement she continues to accompany others in spiritual direction and supervision.
