As we begin 2022, we will continue to explore how the Divine is showing up in your life. Delving into yourself–beyond persona and ego– creates sacred space for the spirit of the unknown. Another part of creating sacred space is the intention you bring to your spiritual practices, whether looking for beauty on your daily walk, giving gratitude for the vegetables you chop, or opening yourself to the love that is surely around you. So I encourage you to continue, expand or (re)start your spiritual practices as a companion to our work together.
I am committed to continuing to build my skills to provide you with a sacred space by continually engaging in professional development. I’m beginning 2022 with a course on Wonder and one on the Supervision of Spiritual Directors. I will continue to engage in a monthly spiritual direction of my own, a spiritual directors’ supervision group and an ongoing group with spiritual directors that I trained with at the Haden Institute.
I’m also taking a Spiritual Memoir Writing Class that offers opportunities to look into the past with an eye for understanding what is deeply embedded in our souls. I will be using this work as I companion you as well.
As background for some of you who don’t know me yet, in 2021, I completed the certificate for Spiritual Direction to work with children and youth as well as courses on Active Imagination, Lucid Dreaming, and Shadow Work. I attended the multi day online conferences from Spiritual Directors International, Liberal Religious Educators Association and the General Assembly of the UUA.
I share my professional development work with you as a commitment to providing relevant and supportive spiritual direction and to help you understand why I am raising my 2022 rates for all new directees to 5 Sessions for $375 or $80 for one-off sessions. I want to be able to continue to provide you meaningful spritual direction. I so appreciate all of you that I currently work with and I look forward to meeting those of you who are new to spiritual direction with me.
