Philosophy of Spiritual Direction:
I am a Unitarian Universalist Wiccan who was raised Roman Catholic and spends time in Jewish, Quaker, and African Diaspora environments. In three three-fold listening model (self, other, and the Spirit between-within-beyond us), I use guided imaginative meditation, attentive silence, inquiry, music, and most of all, listening for what is below the words shared with me. What are our deeper questions?
My clients are often committed religious leaders and practitioners who find their faith larger than their tradition. They are seeking The More in their spiritual lives--something deeper than they find room for in their home religion. I also work with those alienated or isolated by traditional religious environments who nevertheless want to find their own unique ways of making meaning.
I have a particular devotion to working with trans+ and polyamorous people, as well as those in the kink community.
