The SpiDir Network in Berks, Bucks and Oxon is an independent ecumenical network. Our spiritual directors come from a variety of denominations and traditions, and the network is independent and peer-led.
SpiDir is committed to supervision, which we see as part of the good practice of spiritual directors. It is therefore a requirement for all those on this list to have regular supervision in place for their spiritual direction work.
If you wish to engage the services of a spiritual director, please contact the person of your choice directly using the telephone or email address provided.
