Description of Practice
I approach spiritual direction as a unique contemplative practice that nurtures our most intimate and fundamental relationship as human beings: our connection with God, the source and ground of our being. Like any relationship, our relationship with God requires attention, intention and continued nurturing. I seek to support you in that process through deep and reflective listening, combined with a commitment to offer ongoing support and accountability on your spiritual journey. Particular areas of interest for me include: contemplative prayer practices, Enneagram work, Christian mysticism, ecumenical and inter-faith dialog, aging and end-of-life issues, clergy care, poetry and creative writing.
Retreats
Prayer, scripture meditation, caregiver support, spiritual growth during transitions, aging/eldering, death and dying, seasons of the Christian year
Availability
Open to all (in-person or via Zoom)
Brief statement
I believe I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. - Ps. 27:13 Whatever God does, the first outburst is always compassion. -Meister Eckhart
