Reverend Bonnie Tarwater
(858) 442-6470/(619) 881-0159

Rev Bonnie is available for Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Direction. Spiritual Direction is about a relationship with a soul friend who accompanies us on our spiritual journey. A Spiritual Director is a companion and witness for those who yearn to be closer to this Mystery we call God. Since the early church many have been hungry for someone to talk with about God. Spiritual Direction comes out the ancient Christian tradition but is found in all the world religions.

Do you yearn to become more conscious of how this Mystery we call God, or higher power, is working in your life? In Spiritual Direction we contemplate our prayer life, dream life, and other spiritual disciplines to guide us to discern God’s voice as distinct from the voice of our own ego or false self. The Spiritual Director guides the directee to a deeper awareness of Gods’ love for healing and wholeness.
