What do we need to become present to our own souls and to the birthright of our own wholeness? This perennial question asked by seekers and wanderers and many who are steeped in faith is the work of spiritual accompaniment.
John O’Donahue writes in his book Beauty:
“When we begin to awaken to the light of soul, life takes on a new depth. The losses we have suffered, the delight and peace we have experienced, the Beauty we have known, all belong together in a profound way. We gain the courage to search out where the real thresholds in life are, the vital frontiers, the part of our life that we have not yet experienced. We recover within us some of the native integrity that wild places enjoy outside.”
Soul guiding is a call to freedom, wholeness and delight in being human in the midst of the all-encompassing presence of the Divine.
With over 20 years of sobriety, I have experience and a heart for anyone touched by addiction in all its forms.
Raised in a fundamentalist evangelical church; it has been a long and winding path to find my own authentic faith. My understanding of this journey is deep and wide and full of compassion.
I have been deeply impacted by people from various faiths, ideas, beliefs and traditions and am open to anyone seeking spiritual accompaniment.
I completed the SoulGuiding program at Pacific Jubilee in 2022. Presently I am a companion in the 2023-2025 SoulMentoring program at Pacific Jubilee.
