Layne Racht, M.A., LCMHC, LPC (she/her/hers) is a Certified Spiritual Director and Spiritual Direction Supervisor. While working many years as a psychotherapist, Layne found herself drawn to spiritual direction where she was able to bring both spirituality and psychology into her work and personal life. She has taught with several Spiritual Direction Training Programs and served as faculty with the Haden Institute. Layne is grateful for all the learning she has gained through Haden, especially in the areas of Contemplative Practice and Jungian Psychology. Her main teaching areas include Group Spiritual Direction, Supervision of Spiritual Directors, Contemplative Practices in Spiritual Direction, and Professional Growth for Spiritual Directors. She continues to work privately with Directees while also serving as a consultant or supervisor to various groups and individuals. Layne has long believed spirituality and psychology had much to offer each other and finds The Haden Institute’s Spiritual Direction Training Program to be a natural fit where she serves as a faculty member. Layne says she takes pleasure in teaching things that matter to her and continues to experience the call to serve seekers whose journeys could be enriched by spiritual direction.
