Coracle Spiritual Direction Dan MacIntosh

Testimonials:

“I came into spiritual direction in a season of serious wrestling, doubting that I could confidently discern God’s voice in my life and was in many ways paralyzed because of it. It is through meeting with Dan that I encountered life-giving guidance from someone who truly embodies the peace of Christ I so often thirst for. After a few sessions I’ve been able to trust again, that God does in fact speak to us, His beloved children. Though I still have plenty of room for growth in tuning my ear to His voice, that renewed confidence alone has been a balm to the many aching parts of my soul. Thank you Dan, for your wonderful guidance. “

WHAT IS A CORACLE?

A coracle is a small vessel used by fishermen in ancient times in the British Isles. It is also said to have been used by Celtic missionaries who would set out from familiar shores to lands unknown without rudder, sail, or paddle, relying on God to bring them to his intended destination. It is a helpful image for your journey in life and in spiritual direction.

Jan 13: The coracle

​

It was a small oval vessel

A willow branch coracle

A simple craft

With rounded keel

And neither paddle nor sail

 

Step in, lean back, lie down and launch

To mysteries unknown

 

But where will it go?

What wave and wind today

How safe and secure the vessel

How sure the journey and destination

 

Don’t be afraid

You are enfolded in the care of my coracle

Adrift on the secure sea of my love

Guided by the gentle breeze of my breath

Rocked by the waves of my hand

 

Lean back, lie down, gaze upward

To the northern star

Our journey will surprise

Not always where you would choose to go

Not always calm seas

But always with and in

The coracle
