Hello, I'm Renee Farkas, a Spiritual Director based in Nashville, TN
Available for ⬩ 1:1 Direction ⬩ Groups ⬩ Retreat Facilitation
Welcome! Believing that everyone desires to love and be loved, I offer generous space for exploration, reflection, attentiveness, and rest.
For decades I’ve companioned people as they receive and respond to unique invitations of love in their daily lives.
Spiritual direction is not about fixing, solving, or performing.
It is an ancient gentle practice of holy listening as a person pays attention to their relationship with God who is Love. Together we leave plenty of room for mystery and spiritual growth.
Previously affiliated with Creighton University programs; founder of Ambernest Spiritual Direction.
