List of Spiritual Directors

I am a Christian belonging to the Roman Catholic faith tradition. I have been trained by the Archdiocese of Regina to provide Spiritual Direction and to guide directees through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. I am open to journeying with those of other religious affiliations and am also familiar with 12 Step Spirituality. If you have questions or would like to meet to explore this ministry further, I can be reached by phone at (306) 541-8086.

Our lives are incredibly full, with little time for solitude and silence. Reflection and response to God’s invitations toward transformative living and inner healing are often rejected for other pursuits. The offer lies before us to set aside the bondage of former ways and climb into the arms of Love. Our souls need rest. Are you willing to take the journey? I’m willing to walk alongside you.

I have been a Christ follower for many years. I am married with children and grandchildren. My husband and I spent 13 years in West Africa and love meeting and engaging with people of other cultures and faith backgrounds. I have completed a Bachelor of Religious Education and a Master’s in Spiritual Formation. I am passionate about listening to others’ stories and discovering God’s Love in their stories. Come sit with me and let’s listen together!

God bless your journey.

I live in Regina. I am a Roman Catholic lay person. I was commissioned in the Lay Formation Program in 1996. I am a graduate of the Spiritual Formation program of the Archdiocese of Regina and was commissioned as a Spiritual Director in 2009. I participated in the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius under the supervision of my own Spiritual Director. I have guided three people through these exercises. Being a Spiritual Director has helped me in my own spiritual journey. I prefer to meet with people during the day rather than evenings.

I am a professional artist / spiritual director, graduating from the Prairie Jubilee Program for Spiritual Formation in 2010. Hand-coiled clay vessels is the area of art making I am best known for. Several women from the bible have been made into clay vessels. I am also a retreat facilitator presenting on themes of creativity and women of the bible. I currently work out of my studio in Regina, Sask. Creativity and spirituality are integrally united and help me towards deepening my relationship with God and with others. It is my hope to share the skills I have learned in creativity to guide others on their spiritual journey. Spiritual Direction takes place in the artist’s studio. Denomination: protestant with an ecumenical spirit.

Regina, SK. Spiritual Affiliation: Catholic (Roman). A graduate of Newman Theological College and 10-year veteran of parish ministry. I have been practicing as a Spiritual Director for the Archdiocese of Regina since 2009 having successfully completed our 2-year ‘Contemplative Listening – Ministry of Spiritual Direction’ program. My practice of spiritual direction is definitely, though not exclusively, Ignatian in character.

I have experience in a variety of prayer traditions and practices; the Spiritual Exercises, Ignatian Discernment, the Spirituality of Dreams and working with individuals who are involved in professional counseling, and/or 12-step programs such as AA. I firmly believe that my role as a Spiritual Director is primarily that of humble and compassionate listener. At all times, the direction of our visits, and all goals are left entirely in your hands and God’s.

I am a lay Catholic woman from Regina, SK. I am married to Deacon Eric Gurash and I have 2 children and 2 dogs. When I’m not at work, you will usually find me knitting (I knit prayer shawls) or experimenting with baking bread (and recently bagels) or walking our dog Finn.

I was commissioned as a Spiritual Director for the Archdiocese of Regina on June 6, 2020. Spiritual direction has been a part of my life for over 14 years and during the past two years of formation, I have grown even more aware of the Holy Spirit in my life. It is a great privilege to journey with people as they begin to see how God is active in their lives. If you are longing to see where God is in your life, I’d love to journey with you. I provide spiritual direction via online platforms.

I believe we are all on a journey in this life to find and grow our relationship with God. Everyone takes a different path, and each path is as unique as the person seeking it.

My path to faith began 20 years ago, when I felt called to the Roman Catholic faith. I was accepted into the church through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. My journey has included numerous bible studies over the years to learn and grow my faith, and I have accompanied my husband through 4 years of diaconate formation to his ordination. The Archdiocese of Regina commissioned me as a Spiritual Director in June of 2020 after completing their two-year formation program. In addition to spiritual direction, I am open to companioning others through Annotation 19 of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. I provide spiritual direction in my home in Regina, or by telephone or other technologies that are available to us.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Holtslander. I have had the privilege of journeying with people in the midst of life. In the process I have come to value deep community connections, shared tears and laughter, and the telling of our stories. I am ecumenical and value the strengths that different streams of faith bring to spiritual growth.

Who are you? Who is your God? How is God leading you? What is God growing in your life right now? I welcome the opportunity to get to know you and to journey with you as you begin or deepen your relationship with the Divine.

I am a husband, father of seven, grandfather of three, and a member of Saint Anne Parish in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina. I work as a medical doctor, and I was commissioned as a spiritual director in 2026. I prefer to meet in-person, but I have used video chatting for spiritual direction on occasion.

I believe that God wants to cultivate a relationship with every human being, so God communicates with each one of us frequently, intelligibly, eloquently. It is part of my own experience that, most of the time, I fail to listen, to hear, to understand God’s self-revelation, or even to be aware of God’s presence. When someone like me desires to become increasingly aware of God’s action in one’s own life, meeting with a spiritual director is valuable in opening the conversation with the Divine, because God has never hidden from me; I was the one who was hiding.

My Name is Beverly Makar and I am a Disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ. My passion is to encourage and inspire people in their identity in Christ by journeying with them towards God and wholeness.

I am presently working through being commissioned as a Stephen Minister and certification as a Heart Physics Coach.

I have been offering spiritual direction in my home since completing the training program in 2015. I am also able to lead others through the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.

I am a Roman Catholic wife, mother, grandmother who was commissioned in 1994 to the ministry of Spiritual Direction in the Archdiocese of Regina after completing a two-year training program. The program was led by Jesuits and based on Ignatian Spirituality. Since then I have journeyed with numerous people as they prayed with the 19th Annotation of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Other education that has been of value in spiritual direction includes a BA Honours in Religious Studies, Pastoral Studies Certificate, and seminars on topics such as Dreams, Sexuality, Healing of Hurts, Addictions and others. I am familiar with the 12-Step Program and have listened to 5th step sharing. I believe that contemplative listening in the spiritual direction process assists others to grow in their relationship with God. I live in Regina, Saskatchewan.

I have been providing spiritual accompaniment for several years, beginning with ten years in professional parish ministry, and continuing in university chaplaincy until my retirement in December 2017. I currently offer spiritual direction out of my home to people of all (or no particular) spiritual traditions. My six grandchildren and their parents keep me in tune with issues that are relevant to them today, and that helps keep me rooted in contemporary issues.

Trained in Ignatian spirituality, spiritual direction, and theology, I believe that each person has been created in wholeness to be loved and to love, and that God is in all things. My greatest desire is to help people see the boundless love our Creator has for each of us, particularly those on the margins.

I am a Roman Catholic laywoman commissioned as a Spiritual Director in 2015 after taking the two-year training program offered by the Archdiocese of Regina.

Being involved in several parish ministries strengthened my desire to learn more about my own faith. In 2008 I started the Lay Ministry Formation Program which I finished in 2011. During this time I was exposed to Spiritual Direction. Afterwards I felt called to explore this ministry more deeply. I love this journey God has put me on through scripture and music and I am open to see where it might lead me. It is truly a privilege to journey with another person in faith.
