Inner Compass Retreat
finding the treasure within
seek out & explore
An Invitation is made out in your name! But who are YOU?
Who is the person who feels drawn to explore the spiritual treasures that lie within themselves?
Yes, within YOU…Jesus said, The Kingdom is very close to you. It is within your heart.
You are invited to seek out and explore the spiritual treasures that lie within you, the Inner Compass that will help you find your true North, by asking:
Where am I? How am I? Who am I? And proclaiming that, I am!
You are invited to a half-day retreat: The Inner Compass-Finding the Treasure Within. The retreat will be based on themes from the Book ‘Inner Compass’ by Margaret Silf. (Purchasing the book is not necessary for the retreat, but would be beneficial for follow up reading and spiritual exercises.)
This retreat will kick off our 4-week Inner Compass book study. Attending the retreat is not required to join the book study.
When:
Saturday, May 3
8am-1pm
Cost: $55 (includes beverages & a light snack)

What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction is a contemplative practice where a Spiritual Director supports an individual in their spiritual journey. It is a sacred space where individuals can explore their relationship with God, seek spiritual clarity, and discern how God is at work in their lives. Unlike counseling or therapy, which often focus on emotional and psychological well-being, Spiritual Direction centers on the client’s spiritual growth and relationship with God.
During a session, the director acts as a companion, offering deep listening, guidance, and sometimes gentle questioning to help the client notice and respond to God’s presence. This process is not about giving advice or solving problems but about creating a space for the client to encounter God more intimately and to explore the movements of the Spirit in their life.
Spiritual Direction can be beneficial for anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual life, navigate a period of discernment, or find meaning in life’s challenges. It is especially helpful during times of transition, doubt, or spiritual dryness, offering a supportive environment to wrestle with questions, reflect on experiences, and discover a greater sense of purpose and connection with the divine.
At Evans Counseling Services, we are excited to offer Spiritual Direction as a way to support your holistic well-being, recognizing that spiritual health is an essential component of overall wellness.
