Pierrette R. Stukes, PhD

Spiritual Director, Workshop Facilitator, and Retreat Leader

West Jefferson, NC
Retreats in North Carolina

336-982-2402

pstukes@skybest.com


Pierrette R. Stukes received her PhD in English literature from The George Washington University, specializing in psychoanalysis and cultural theory, in 2002. She taught on the college level for 15 years. She is currently completing a two-year, certified Program in Spiritual Direction, which trains both laypersons and ordained professionals to be with others in a sacred space of holy listening for the inner voice of God. “The pastoral theologian Henri J. M. Nouwen wrote eloquently of the inherent woundedness of the human spirit, a woundedness that life itself imposes and which can only be sutured by the loving Physician of mystery. This woundedness is the result of our birthing, into our families of origin, our communities, our culture. These vital births leave some aspect of our true and essential Selves behind in a fine dust of forgetfulness. This forgetfulness is a kind of grieving, but we no longer know that what we grieve is our connection to the abiding presence of God. In my own life of woundedness and healing, I have been met and embraced by the unfathomable and yet wholly intimate God at the core of life itself. Please join with me in experiencing the grace that binds life itself to a holy center.”


Our Mission: Heart Directions, Inc. is a ministry of compassionate service. Our programs are grounded in the philosophy of spiritual hospitality which is a way of being present with you in an atmosphere of mutual respect and holy reverence so that both you and the facilitator may listen for the Spirit at the center of your life. We are post-denominational in emphasis. Our programs integrate various spiritual traditions to honor and to enable an experience of God that transcends cultural representations. Heart Directions, Inc. does not offer therapy, counseling, or advice; nor are its programs academic in nature. Instead, its facilitator creates a sacred space in which individuals may explore for themselves the spiritual integration of the psyche, the soul, the mind, the heart, and the body.

I am an "Indigo" and a Reiki Master (nontraditional), as well as a dowser, which have both influenced my spirituality greatly. I have a certificate in Complimentary and Alternative Medicines.

I’m a Christian performance worship artist living in Mooresville, NC. I’m looking to book Christian camps, retreats and conferences. My acoustic focus, while passionate, is very quiet and contemplative, and in addition to certain originals and cover songs, I’m able to lead worship with many contemporary worship songs, having over 12 years experience in leading worship at various churches and conferences. I am also in Seminary at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, pursuing a Masters in Biblical Studies. I have experience and giftings in teaching, couseling, and personal ministry, all gifts that, if needed, are ideal for the retreat/camp environment.
