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.

Teachers + Thresholds
The teachers who have shaped me invited me — whether explicitly or in the way they uniquely inhabited their life and calling — to engage with my soul.
Incredible Hulk Moments
Do you ever go from calm to “losing it,” and wonder what in the world happened? Suddenly you have no connection to your thinking mind. What is your self-talk like after these moments? Are you hard on yourself?
Why trauma-informed spiritual direction?
What do I mean when I say “trauma-informed” spiritual direction?
Trauma and the Nervous System, A Polyvagal Perspective
This 8-minute video is the best resource I’ve found to simply explain how residues of our overwhelming experiences shape our felt sense of safety in the present. The awareness can be a lens for compassion and curiosity for ourselves and others.
Window of Tolerance
Understanding our window of tolerance supports us in noticing and welcoming what’s happening in us with compassion.
