A note from their website:
Spiritual direction is an opportunity to find a path to the power and comfort of a life where your soul is nourished and your inner voice is at ease. Explore obstacles to being at peace with yourself and learn how to build your spiritual plane. Direction is offered with retreat if desired, or individuals may schedule direction – usually one hour a month – by appointment between 9 AM and 4 PM, Monday through Friday. Although no cost is set, a donation is appropriate. Individual need regarding the nature and time for direction, as well as a typical range for donation, can be discussed either during the first meeting, or when inquiring about an appointment.

Blue Ridge Ministries
This is an inter-denomination ministry for spiritual formation. Their website is not up to date and does not include contact information. It is a good resource for guided retreats and individual direction. I can get a phone number if you want to contact them.
