A Spiritual Director is someone who deeply listens to not only what you say, but what your spirit is saying. A companion on your spiritual journey, wherever you may be along the path, a Spiritual Director is there to reflect your own questions and actions back to you, engaging in a dialogue that can help you understand what you already know to be true about your relationship to God, Creation, The Force, Spirit, and all the other names we humans use to try and explain or name the infinite and ineffable universe.

At Sacred Forest Collective, I work with people from all faiths, including those who are deconstructing from traumatic experiences with religion. Training under the Benedictines, I learned the rule of Saint Benedict, which tells us that we must treat all people with radical hospitality. I very much honor that in this space. Spiritual Direction is deep listening. Usually meeting once to twice a month, for an hour each session, the directee engages in self reflection around issues such as personal relationship to the divine, pain from prior religious experiences, mystical moments they can’t explain, prayer, life, and how to walk with God in a constant and knowing fashion.
