Rose McManus

Rose’s spiritual life is rooted in a deep, expansive relationship with the Divine and the guiding belief that God is still speaking. “I am constantly surprised by the imaginative nature of our Creator and the variety of ways that God chooses to show up in my life, the lives of my directees and the world. Whether I am paying attention or not, God is always present. Choosing to pay attention, by regularly engaging in contemplative practices, heightens my awareness of

God’s presence in my life and deepens my relationship with all that is, both around and within me. I am excited for the opportunity to explore these practices in community as a means to deepen our awareness of and relationship with the great Mystery in which we dwell. 

Rose currently provides spiritual direction and Enneagram consultation/ education through Loyola Spirituality Center in St Paul. “My call to spiritual direction has been shaped by my Catholic upbringing, an early felt sense of Divine Presence, exploring other spiritual traditions and a close walk with joy, grief and loss in my life as a mother, wife, daughter, sister and

friend.   

In addition to her spiritual direction certification through the Center for Spirituality and Guidance, Rose is a trained End-of- Life-Doula through the International End-of-Life-Doula Association (INELDA) and a certified Enneagram practitioner through Chestnut/Paes Enneagram Academy.
