In the 1980's, Rachel was involved in the Christian Vineyard movement in London and joined ministry teams to both Germany and South Africa. She has completed recognised training in Ignatian Spiritual Direction in Edinburgh and is a member of The Epiphany Group.

She trained as a counsellor and then in Spiritual Direction with the Diocese of Chelmsford and has been for many years a tutor with Acorn Christian Listeners. She has always had a love for working across denominations and enjoys such a network locally. Sarah has had many years of exposure to Ignatian spirituality.
We can also offer, by arrangement:
- Individual spiritual accompaniment. Which is the practice of being with people as they reflect on their spiritual journey. The guide listens and asks questions to assist the person in their process of reflection.
- Guided retreats. These can be either residential or non-residential.
- The use of the Quiet Room in Kirkcudbright for personal reflection.
"A good question holds as much grace as an answer." (Quoted from 'Prayer for a Questioning Heart, by Macrina Wiederkehr)
