I help people with these life transitions

● “Second half of life” transitions (losing loved ones, legacy, acceptance)

● Career transitions (job loss, role changes, etc)

● Faith transitions (doubts, deconstruction, and reconstruction)

● Family transitions (divorce, marriage, children)

● Self-awareness transition (true self and false self, ego)

Turn this transitional season into a transformational one. Calm Waters spiritual direction is here so you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

Trying to understand what you’re going through right now?

● In a season that feels completely unknown - and you don’t have the answers for what’s coming next in your life?

● Don’t understand where God is or what God’s doing in your current season?

● Unsure of what your next step is?

I can help you learn to discern what God is doing in your life today and find wisdom to determine your next steps.

How I Do Spiritual Direction

My Sessions Are Contemplative

I guide my clients in slowing down and becoming more non-anxious and non-reactive.

Our work will be Enneagram Focused.

The Enneagram can assist you in becoming self-aware and provide the tools necessary to progress on your journey.

I Help You in Making Self-Discoveries

I pose challenging questions that open the door to new possibilities and ideas.

You don’t have to fear the transitional space between where you were and where you are headed.

Calm Waters journeys alongside you in your life transition.

● Move forward on your path of self-discovery

● Learn a way of “being” that is non-anxious & non-reactive by engaging in contemplative practices

● Unlock truths about yourself and your spirituality

● Move toward making choices that reflect your own spirituality

● Improve your understanding of who God is to you and who you are to God.

We believe you can find a new path in hope, purpose and direction for this transition of life.

Hi, I’m Rick,

I am a spiritual director who specializes in life transitions, especially those shifting to the second half of life. With no one to talk to about these issues, you may find yourself uncertain about what to do next. I help you discern what God is doing in your life and relationships TODAY, so you can move forward.

  • There are three key ingredients to how I conduct spiritual direction:

    My Sessions Are Contemplative

    I guide my clients in slowing down and becoming more non-anxious and non-reactive.

    I Help You Make Self-Discoveries

    I help you get on a path of self-discovery. I ask the tough questions that lead to new possibilities and ideas.

    I Take My Role As A Privilege

    I count it an honor to be a spiritual director to my clients, and I don’t take the responsibility of it lightly. I check in with you along the way to make sure you are getting the most out of our sessions.

    To get started, your next step is to schedule a free intro session and see if we are a good fit. You don’t have to feel stuck dealing with the challenges of ministry on your own. I can help as you move toward making choices that reflect your own spirituality and discern your next steps.

What clients say about working with Rick

  • “I felt pretty lost and confused when I met Rick.

    He helped me find solace and peace while I struggled with some really difficult decisions. He not only listened to me, he heard me. I greatly appreciated the safe space he created, and the deeply meaningful prayers on my behalf. I definitely grew personally and spiritually in his presence.”

  • “I have enjoyed having Rick as a Spiritual Director for the past 6 months.

    When we began meeting, I knew only that he was a retired pastor whose background was a little different from mine, and I looked forward to learning from his experiences. Since then I have found that he is deeply in love with the Trinity, and that love flavors everything he does. Rick has challenged me to rethink who I am in light of who God is and who He says I am. As I acknowledge the grace that God offers me, I become more able to love people as they are: created in God's image and in need of the same grace that I am so glad to receive myself. Rick's passion for following Jesus has been an inspiration to me as he continues to call me into a deeper walk with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.”

  • “Rick has been a help to me in staying connected to the depths

    In our work I have been looking deeply into the challenges of my life and ministry. I am grateful for his wisdom, sensitivity, understanding, and care. Thank you, Rick!”
