Karen Shurety

I am a lay missionary and Spiritual Director in the, Roman Catholic Tradition. I trained as a spiritual director on the 2 year course run by CACS. I have a bachelor of theology for ministry from Cambridge University. I have experience of both the charismatic and contemplative traditions of spirituality.

My desire and passion is to enable those I journey with to become who God calls them to be, and to explore their relationship with God.

Later this year I hope to start training and formation in the ministry of Supervision. My vocation and working life has been very much rooted in the ‘pastoral care’ of others; I find this life-giving.

More recently I have been drawn to a better understanding of the place of ‘Neurodiversity’ in our spiritual lives. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia in my mid-40s, and this has deepened my self-knowledge.

I see spiritual accompaniment as two friends walking each other home, guided by the Holy Spirit.
