The History of Spiritual Direction with Paul Burgmayer

Paul Burgmayer has been working on a comprehensive history of spiritual direction and supervision and will share some his findings with us. Paul has also been accompanying others in spiritual direction for fourteen years. A former industrial chemical researcher and now retired high school teacher, Paul has a master’s degree in Holistic Spirituality and a certificate in spiritual direction from Chestnut Hill College, certificates in supervision of spiritual direction from Together in the Mystery and Mercy Center, Burlingame, and is trained to (and has a special love for) accompanying others in the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. Paul lives in Wayne, PA with his wife, Sharon. Connect with Paul: historyofSD@gmail.com

Paul's Daily Practice:

• Prayer - God, help me to rest in awe at the shoreline of life’s mystery and see the world through Your eyes. “Let Your love be heard” and felt and seen through my life…
• Gifts received yesterday
• Gratitude - - for what do I FEEL grateful
• Meta-awareness from yesterday
• Consolations 
• Desolations 
• Questions I am pondering
• What is drawing me into today
