TYLER HILL
SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR + WIM HOF INSTRUCTOR
Tyler Hill is a trained spiritual director formed by the Benedictine Sisters at the Benet Hill Monastery in Colorado Springs. His passion is walking alongside individuals on their journey toward wholeness, belovedness, and deeper awareness of God’s presence in their lives.
Tyler offers a safe, hospitable, and welcoming space where people can process, question, explore, and heal without judgment or pressure. Rather than telling others what to do or how to live, he believes spiritual direction is about listening together — attentively and prayerfully — for what God may be speaking in the present moment.
While spiritual direction shares similarities with counseling and therapy as a helping profession, it serves a distinct role. It is not intended to replace psychological care, counseling, or therapy, but can complement those practices as a spiritual companion on one’s journey. Though healing often occurs through the process, the primary focus of spiritual direction is discerning how God is actively moving and working within a person’s story today.
FEES & INSURANCE INFORMATION
