Spiritual Direction
Holy Sparks
Spiritual direction provides a gentle, loving, space to listen for the still small voice of sacredness to emerge. The practice helps us notice where sparks of divinity live, where our soul’s longing has space for exploration, and where we are called to more fully live our truth.
My favorite theologian Abraham Joshua Heschel writes, “Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.” Spiritual direction invites us more deeply into the be-ing, and it is an honor to accompany directees seeking holiness in their living.
I completed training through the Morei Derekh program in Jewish Spiritual Direction in 2014, and was a New Contemplative Fellow for Spiritual Director's International in 2015. I am currently completing a Doctor of Ministry degree in spiritual renewal, contemplative practice, and strategic leadership at Claremont School of Theology. My doctoral research focuses on the feminine compassionate presence of God in Judaism and in the practice of spiritual direction.
I am available for both individual and group spiritual direction. I also love the sacred work of supervision, and
am honored to facilitate group supervision for spiritual directors and to work with spiritual directors seeking individual supervision.
Reach out today to schedule an initial call to see if spiritual direction or spiritual direction supervision may be right for you.
