Dyckman & Carroll: Inviting the Mystic; Supporting the Prophet

An Introduction to Spiritual Direction

by Katherine Marie Dyckman, SNJM and L Patrick Carroll, SJ

Praying Together

Since the first lockdown, I have been leading online prayer every week. I invite you to these prayer times on Zoom at 8.30 am every Monday and Wednesday. For more information, read “Praying together”.

I offer spiritual direction, training, and supervision. I am also a writer. I am based in Upper Teesdale, Co. Durham and (occasionally) West London.

Through kindly attention to the sensations of this body you can connect into a process of ever-deepening immersion into the reality of God at the heart of life.

I write here primarily about:

God, and how to foster your relationship with God;
prayer, and how to pray; and
how attending to this body is prayer and a way to be present in the Presence.
