Elizabeth Sudlow

After many years immersed in Carmelite spirituality and lay communities in the UK and Italy, drawing from this contemplative tradition, Lizzie offers a gentle, reflective space for both spiritual direction and pastoral supervision Through prayerful attentiveness, together we can discover God’s loving presence in every aspect of your life. With deep listening to your sacred story, identifying formative experiences and discerning how you are being called to deeper inner freedom, you can learn to live and flourish ever more deeply in the joy of the Lord. Learn too about contemplative prayer, gaining unique insights into your own heart and deeper union with God: precious, welcomed, accepted and loved.

Whether you are at a crossroads, discerning vocation or next life steps, facing difficulties, loss, seeking inner healing, or want to go deeper in your relationship with God, desiring to know yourself better, Lizzie offers individual or small group spiritual direction in the form of Carmelite contemplative circles.

Listening deeply, with empathy and compassion, you collaborate in a mutual exploration of your practice to reflect theologically as you grow in God directed self-awareness and discern the movements of the Holy Spirit in your practice, in a welcoming accepting space that values you and fosters your growth. Supervision is an opportunity to pay attention to the wisdom revealed in your pastoral encounters, helping you to lead from a more grounded and resilient place in your patience.

Drawing upon the theories and models of pastoral supervision, you will reflect on the content, process, and relational aspects of your work, embarking on an inner journey into your ministry. Listening to your internal experience, as you reflect on your work, incorporate skills to help you stay aware of your own reactions, triggers and unconscious dynamics to reinforce healthy boundaries within the space and grow in confidence, for the sake of those you serve.
