Spiritual Direction, Enneagram Exploration, and Silent Retreats with Dr. Lori Tate

Meet Dr. Lori Tate

Spiritual Director, Enneagram Coach, and Guide for your Spiritual Journey.

Lori is committed to helping you to live a more fulfilling spiritual life. She knows what it feels like to work hard at faith and still feel empty. Her own journey led her from striving for a deeper understanding of grace to a calling to accompany others as they discover a more authentic, life-giving relationship with God.

With a Doctorate of Ministry in Spiritual Direction and Formation and a master’s degree in Christian Education, Lori brings theological grounding, a commitment to spiritual practice, and a warm, accepting presence to her work. 

She is a founding member and faculty member of Crossroads Soul Resources School of Spiritual Direction and a trained Enneagram practitioner. Her approach brings together prayerful listening, self-awareness, and spiritual practices that help people become more open to God’s transforming work.

Spiritual Direction: Guidance for Your Spiritual Journey

Spiritual direction leads you to a deeper love and acceptance of God and yourself; cultivates inner peace, and a gentleness with yourself and others; strengthens your confidence in God and yourself; and brings greater clarity and perspective, meaning and purpose in your life.

Individual Spiritual Direction

Meet one-on-one with Lori to explore what is unfolding in your life and relationship with God. Sessions offer a confidential, nonjudgmental space for questions, discernment, and deeper awareness.

Group Spiritual Direction

Group direction is an ongoing community process in which individuals gather together on a regular basis to assist each other in their growing personal awareness of God.

Silent Retreats

Step Away. Enter the Quiet.

A directed silent retreat offers time away from daily demands to rest, pray, and reconnect with God.

With space for solitude, reflection, time in nature, and daily individual spiritual direction, Lori’s retreats invite you to slow down and attend to what is stirring within you. No established prayer routine is required, simply a desire to spend time with God.

Understand yourself more deeply through the Enneagram.

Recognize the habits that shape how you relate to yourself, others, and God. The Enneagram explores nine patterns of motivation, perception, and response.

Lori uses the Enneagram as a tool for spiritual growth, helping you notice familiar patterns and discover greater freedom in how you respond. She offers individual Enneagram consultations and personalized workshops.
