Befriend your body ~ hear your still small voice
Offer Him your heart…
let your clay be moist,
lest you grow hard and
lose the imprint of His fingers.
~ St. Iranaeus 185 AD

MY PRACTICE

Your body never lies. These practices begin with the understanding that your body holds valuable information. Movements that stretch, open, and awaken parts of your body may stretch, open, and awaken parts of you that are ready to be seen from a fresh perspective.

Focusing on your body’s trustworthy senses helps you become aware and present.  Being aware of your body’s senses sends the message to deeper layers of yourself that you are paying attention. Awareness is the first step to change

Christ-centered Spiritual Direction is one of the Christian church’s ancient traditions that existed as early as the fourth century to support authentic spiritual formation. The old expression may be misleading in today’s language since the practice is not directing, fixing or managing another person’s spiritual life. We are all dust -- of the earth -- sustained by the mystery of a living God who desires union and intimacy with us. It is from union within that we are fed, healed and find meaning.

A spiritual director is a companion who listens, supports and encourages another person to live fully alive and loved. The intention is to provide a safe place and time dedicated to experiencing God as your true Spiritual Director. This can be an embodied approach to support connection, presence, and deep listening.

Some intentions that might be addressed are to:

  • Re-examine personal images of God.
  • Support you as you wrestle with your understanding of what God’s perspective might be in your circumstances.
  • Help you have compassion with yourself about what is real and messy in the process of becoming authentic and transparent before God.
  • Support you to listen to the thoughts and feelings that get in the way of your wholeness.
  • Invigorate your spiritual life or explore a deeper experience of God.

Spiritual direction: $50
