To me, spiritual direction is the shared experience of a spiritual director and a seeker working with the sacred to reveal what feels essential and true for the seeker. With sacred guidance, the spiritual director and the seeker notice “what is,” sense shifts, discern what makes the seeker come alive, and discover direction in the seeker’s spiritual path.

Spiritual direction sessions begin in shared silence as we welcome the sacred. My grounded presence and deep listening enable the seeker to share what is present and important in life, such as struggles, joys, longings, connections, wonderments, meaning, and purpose. Whatever is present is used as a sacred doorway to transition deeply inward. I gently nudge the seeker as I reflect what was said, pose probing questions, and offer observations.

The seeker practices listening to feelings, sensations, intuition, and the quiet voice of the essence of who they truly are, while dampening the loud voices of ego, personality, and surface identities. By immersing oneself in the process, the seeker becomes more grounded and gains greater clarity and confidence to live a life of deepening integrity. By trusting the process, the seeker connects increasingly with the sacred essence of who they truly are, and what they are called to be and do.

Joy, laughter, playfulness, and humor find their way into our spiritual direction as we travel together wherever the seeker’s spiritual path leads.

My spiritual direction work builds on my previous career as an educator and a certified life coach coupled with my own spiritual journey. Spiritual direction follows my purpose of accompanying and supporting people as they meet life’s challenges.
