Tonya Derry is a Tennessee-based Spiritual Director who is currently available by appointment.
She would be honored to accompany you.
My name is Tonya Derry and I offer counseling inspired spiritual direction, mentoring, and 12-Step work. My offerings are both in person and virtual. Contemplative prayer practices, Lectio Divina, Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, silence, solitude, nature inspired spirituality, self-compassion, 12-Steps, gratitude, and meditation are practices I aspire to in my own spiritual life, and they also influence my work as a Spiritual Director.
“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it in another.” - Thomas Merton
“We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.” - Richard Rohr
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
St. Francis of Assisi, the Peace Prayer
