Welcome

Christian Spiritual Direction

A nonprofit Spiritual Direction practice and Journal for Christian Writers, Pastors, Authors, Creatives, Leaders, Publishers and Ministers

I’m an artist, author and spiritual director. If you’re searching for spiritual direction (also known as accompaniment), hello I’m Andy Maitland, a spiritual director, my principle formation and training were in 2002/3/6 with Dr. Larry Crabb, NewWay Ministries School of Spiritual Direction, US.

I’m a practicing artist in the UK who has exhibited and collaborated with companies such as Apple, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Horticultural Society and the V&A.

I’m also the author of The Digital Garden® and An Imagined Garden One, both of which explore the garden, augmented reality and architecture, as a place where perception, creativity, and awareness meet.
