He also graduated from Richard Rohr’s Living School of contemplation.

What people are saying….
”Peter has been my spiritual director for over 3 years now and I have grown to value our relationship tremendously. Our time together is sacred, soaked in prayer and filled with holy listening. Peter has a discerning and compassionate spirit, and his thoughtful questions have guided me through some very challenging situations, both personally and vocationally. I feel profoundly safe and deeply heard with him, and my spirit is nourished each time I am there. I generally leave feeling both re-centered and challenged, and I am grateful to have found him. I highly recommend Peter to anyone who is interested in plumbing the depths of their own soul with a safe, trustworthy, discerning spiritual companion.” Deborah W., Pastor

If you are considering engaging a spiritual director then I applaud you for your wisdom. Having grown up in a Christian home, the daughter of a protestant pastor, participated in Christian faith communities my entire life and even worked on the staff of two churches I was not even aware of Spiritual Direction until I was in my sixties. What a gift to find this powerful opportunity for spiritual growth.
Peter Nagle is currently my spiritual director. Peter has both the academic training necessary to offer direction but also an obvious charism in this area as well. When Peter meets with you he is truly present to you. He listens deeply and creates a safe space where it is okay to consider doubts and questions without any concern about be judged. All questions were welcomed! I really appreciate his wise observations and the way he invites me to look at my questions and experiences from various perspectives. His approach allows me to sit with possibilities I have not considered before. I treasure the insights that have surfaced during some of my sessions with him.
If you feel lead to consider Peter as your spiritual director I feel confident you will be blessed by the experience. Elizabeth P. Stephan
