 Stephen Murphy
I was trained and blessed as a Spiritual Director at St. Benedict’s Retreat and Conference Centre, just north of Winnipeg in 2000. St. Ben’s continues to be a special place of personal spiritual renewal through times of silence or workshops. My spiritual journey has been enriched from studying in various Bible colleges including Pentecostal and Mennonite, culminating with a M.Div. & STM from the Faculty of Theology, U. of W.
My training in spiritual companioning / direction, spiritual care (hospital and long-term (PCH) chaplaincy) and present employment as Co-Minister of Pastoral and Spiritual Care at Grace Bible Church provides practical ways to put my studies into practice. Regular meetings with peers keeps me grounded and accountable. The greatest gift of being a spiritual director is the way it integrates my ecumenical theological studies and contemplative spirituality with the sacred task of accompanying others on their unique spiritual journey.
I believe a deep ‘knowing’ of the Holy is possible and the only way to true living. I would be honoured to meet with you and explore the possibility of accompanying you on your spiritual journey for a season. Contact me and we can get together for an initial meeting, at no cost, to explore whether my spiritual gifts are suited to meet your needs and desires. We can also discuss compensation, usually between $35 to $55 an hour or a sliding scale based on your ability to pay.
Blessing on your sacred journey to "know" the Holy - mind, body, soul and spirit.
