Andrea Manor

Andrea resides in Nashville, TN with her husband, Elijah, their three teenagers and dog. She believes that God is always present and actively working in our lives and the world, even when we are unaware of it. Andrea's passion lies in helping people become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body responses, guiding them to invite Jesus into these spaces for a closer journey through life. This awareness of God's presence in our daily lives fills us with a sense of awe and reveals the divine mystery that surrounds us, as beautifully expressed by Gerard Manley Hopkins: “The world is charged with the grandeur of God.”

Andrea provides individual monthly direction, facilitates Visio Divina groups, directs silent retreats, and offers the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola in daily life. She serves as a program director with the Spiritual Direction Training Program and manages the Spiritual Exercises program at Dovehouse. During her free time away from Dovehouse, Andrea cherishes moments with her family, explores nature through hiking, and expands her world through books.
