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.

Life is hard.
We all have had or will have moments like these when we get news that changes life as we knew it and leaves us wondering if we even really savored our “before.”
You’re On Your Own, But Not Alone
Spirituality is not a side project. It’s about opening more deeply to our life (over time) and holding on for the ride.
Honest Offering Prayer
The way good and hard are not opposites, and there’s space in you to hold both.
Trauma-Supporting Spiritual Care
Have you noticed the concept of trauma coming up more frequently in the past few years? You are not alone; it is confusing. What do people mean when they use the word trauma in this rapidly-changing landscape?
Reconnecting to Inner Wisdom: A Deep Dive
Disconnection from our inner wisdom disrupts all of our connections — with Self, Spirit, others, and the earth. Trauma-Informed Spiritual Direction is a place to discover, recover, and cultivate our connection to this wisdom.
We Are Always, Already Home

I was in a minor car accident a couple of weeks ago. Though not badly hurt, I received a prescription for brain rest. My doctor also suggested bundling up and going outside to be among the trees and birds. Nature as medicine.
