"To "listen" another's soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery may be almost the greatest service that any human being ever performs for another."  Douglas Steere

​

"Being heard is so close to being loved that for the  average person, they are almost indistinguishable." David Augsburger

​

"What people need most is a good listening to." Mary Lou Casey

I received my Spiritual Direction training from The Haden Institute and I am a member of Spiritual Directors International. Spiritual Direction is also known as spiritual companionship, spiritual accompaniment or spiritual guidance. Spiritual direction is a time and space set aside to tend to one's soul.  In a confidential, one-on-one session, you will be encouraged to deeply reflect on and explore your spiritual life and your relationship with (Life, Spirit, God, Creator, The Divine, The Holy, Grace ) or whatever your label is for that which brings you meaning, purpose and peace. A variety of reasons may bring you to Spiritual Direction including but not exclusive to curiosity, a major life transition, personal challenges, spiritual questions, a desire to have a companion on your journey, a desire to deepen your spiritual life and practices, grief and loss, a desire to discover your true self or a need for balance. The process of spiritual direction is healing, revealing and grace-filled.  I have been in some form of Spiritual Direction since 2008 and am grateful for the gentle witnessing and the gifts of insight I have received.

Spiritual Direction is appropriate for those of all spiritual paths and faith traditions. Including those who consider themselves spiritual but not religious, spiritually eclectic, atheist, agnostic or secular-humanist.

 

A note on Dream Work: In both my Seminary and Spiritual Direction training, I was taught methods of working with night-time dreams as a source of guidance and wisdom. I am also certified in the Dream Tending method taught by Dr. Stephen Aizenstat, PhD.   Please bring your meaningful or troubling dreams to Spiritual Direction sessions. Please see my Dream Tending page.

​

A note on Sandplay: I am currently in the process of becoming a Sandplay Practitioner. Sandplay will be available for Spiritual Direction Sessions. Please see my Sandplay page for a video and description of Sandplay.

 

A Note on Creative Depth Coaching:  Working with simple art making processes can be a potent source of spiritual insight. I may incorporate some creative coaching tools into Spiritual Direction sessions as guided. Please see my Creative Depth Coaching page.
