Grounding + Becoming
Our souls find their way to the art we need.
Words, music, images, and practices can help us move more deeply into our own experiences, longings, and deep knowing.
These collections are curated to guide and accompany you as you attune to your inner landscape and to Love. I’m scattering breadcrumbs from my journey and from wise teachers and mystics before and beside me. Consider this a trailhead, of sorts.
Follow the threads that draw you, and notice what stirs in your soul.
What I’m offering here is an unconventional collection of spiritual direction resources.
You’ll find tools I refer to often, practices to experiment with, readings, notes from me, playlists, and more. I’ve only begun to gather these; feel free to bookmark this page and return as you are drawn.
Love is all around us, friends. I think we sometimes miss it when it doesn’t come packaged the way we’ve come to expect.
If you see something in this collection you’d like to explore together in a spiritual direction session, I welcome that wholeheartedly.

Coming Home: Finding Fluency in My Inner Landscape
Finding fluency in my body’s signals doesn’t mean life is easy or that I’m perfect, it means that I am learning. The learning has happened little by little in the tiniest of increments that I’ve savored the heck out of.
And Still, I Burn
