Spiritual Direction with Franki DeSaro
What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual Direction is centered on being present with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
It is a quiet and safe space to be with God together for 1 hour. A session may consist of prayer, resting in silence, reflection, sharing thoughts, feelings or experiences that may arise during this time. A Spiritual Director’s role is to listen, pray for you, support you and always guide you back to focusing on your relationship with God; how He is present in all areas of your life and His unconditional love for you.
Spiritual Direction is a non-judgmental, confidential space where you can feel safe to be your authentic self, share your experiences and be guided with care and support through your life journey; ebbs, flows and all.
My utmost hope as a Director is to help you deepen your relationship with God. For I truly believe that all else in life flows from this strong foundation.
Who is Spiritual Direction For?
Spiritual Direction is for men and women who share in a relationship with Jesus.
We can share in Direction together during any season of your life; through the highs, lows and in-betweens, we will surely find God there walking the journey along with you. Wherever you are on your path, come as you are, and I will meet you there, trusting that the Holy Spirit will also meet us together.
How Long is Spiritual Direction? How Often Do We Meet?
Spiritual Direction consists of 1 hour in person or virtual sessions in a quiet and restful space. We will meet once or twice per month; according to what you need and desire.
How Do I Begin?
I would love to meet you, and spend some time getting to know one another! We can do so by connecting on zoom, phone or in-person for coffee / tea for a free Introduction to Spiritual Direction Session. This will be a simple, relaxed time to connect and answer any questions you may have about Spiritual Direction.
We will then move on to booking our first Spiritual Direction Session together.

About Me:
For the past 13 years, my journey has been intimately woven with Jesus, as I've walked hand in hand with God. Yet, the echoes of His presence have resonated in the depths of my heart my whole life, cultivating a profound and abiding love. Through life's intricate tapestry of messiness and beauty, I have found solace and guidance in His boundless Love and Grace that have anchored me.
As an artist, my creative spirit finds its purest expression amidst the wonders of creation. Nature is my canvas, and I feel an unparalleled closeness to God when I paint amidst its landscapes. My passion extends to a love for animals and a deep appreciation for the innocence and joy found in the hearts of children.
Five years ago, fueled by a seed of faith, I co-founded Light to Earth Sanctuary—a ministry that has flourished and continues to serve those in need.
In the pursuit of spiritual depth, I embarked on the ‘Sustainable Faith’ certificate program 2 years ago with Vineyard Church, NY. Furthermore, I began the Selah Certificate Program in Spiritual Direction 1 year ago which will continue into 2025. My own spiritual journey has been enriched through six years of receiving Spiritual Direction, a source of profound peace, love, and joy for which I am profoundly grateful. In 2026 I will receive a master's in art therapy; I look forward to expanding my ministry work into therapeutic services.
I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with you, inviting you to join me on a journey of communion with God through Spiritual Direction—a cherished experience that has become one of my greatest joys. I look forward to the privilege of walking alongside you as we navigate the sacred path of Faith together.
