Here's a [url="http://maps.sdiworld.org/seekandfind.php"]site to locate[/url] a spiritual director. You need to narrow it down to city/state/country, then it gives a list of people.

Warning, it's a mix -- it will state if they are Roman Catholic. There are many faiths listed and both genders.

Please take this site with a huge grain of salt.

I say this as a member of SDI and someone who is listed in their directory.

There are no qualifications for being listed as a spiritual director. Pay the membership fee and you can be listed. There may be wonderful, holy spiritual directors listed and there may be those who have no qualifications or abilities at all.

If I were looking for a new spiritual director, I would start by asking my pastor for a recommendation. I might ask other people who seem to be living holy lives whether they know of any directors. I'd ask at a nearby monastery, convent, or retreat house to see if they might know of someone. Picking someone off a web site -- even someone who claims to be Catholic -- would be my last ditch option.

Very helpful talk on finding a spiritual director, on EWTN right now. Through phatmass chat, or ewtn.com, or ewtn tv.
