Bruce Tallman has been in private practice as a full-time spiritual director for the past twenty years (since 2002). He works mainly with clergy from every Christian denomination. He also works with laity and with people who are agnostic, atheist or “spiritual but not religious.”
He has published two books for professional spiritual directors: Archetypes for Spiritual Direction: Discovering the Heroes Within (Paulist Press, 2005) and Finding Seekers: How to Develop a spiritual Direction Practice from Beginning to Full-Time Employment which is a bestseller in the field of spiritual direction.
He has also published two books for the general public: A Thousand Spiritual Lessons: Wisdom and Peace for the Over-Busy, Over-Informed, Over-Worked and Over-Whelmed (an ebook from Kindle Direct Publishing 2021) and God’s Ecstatic Love: Transform Your Life with a Spiritual Masterpiece (Apocryphile Press, 2021). God’s Ecstatic Love is a 21st century commentary on St. Francis de Sales’ 1616 spiritual classic Treatise on the Love of God. The goal of the book is to teach people the most important life-skill of all: how to love God/be a contemplative mystic.
From 1988 to 2002 Bruce was the director of two adult religious education centers for the Roman Catholic Diocese of London, Ontario, Canada. As part of that ministry, he helped couples prepare for marriage and continues to do so. Since 1988 to the present, he has facilitated marriage preparation courses with almost 4000 couples.
Bruce has a Doctor of Ministry degree in Spiritual Direction from the Graduate Theological Foundation and hundreds of his articles on spirituality, theology, ethics and religion have been published. He is also an adjunct faculty member of the Haden Institute for Spiritual Directors Training and is on the board of “Christian Spiritual Directors” (formerly known as the “Canadian Fellowship of Christian Spiritual Directors”).
He and his wife Grace, a crisis mental health counselor, live in London, Ontario, Canada and have three adult children: Hailey (art therapist), Brandon (landscaper) and Alana (lab scientist).
