director of the Pacific Jubilee Society for Spiritual Direction
As a Spiritual Companion
I am a spiritual director who trained in the Pacific Jubilee SoulGuiding program and am now undertaking the Soul Mentoring program. I also have certification and a practice as a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) instructor.
In 2002, I completed my doctorate in education with a focus on spirituality, adult learning, and the workplace. As a professor of adult learning for the past 20 years, I continue to be passionate about teaching and research about adult learning and spirituality, with a more recent focus on contemplative ecology.
Underlying my own spiritual journey and work as a spiritual director and adult educator, is my belief that we are being called home to be fully in relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world. To move beyond the rational to embrace the whole; through mind, heart, and body.
Please come home. Please come home into your own body,
Your own vessel, your own earth.
Please come home into each and every cell,
And fully into the space that surrounds you.
- excerpt from Please Come Home by Jane Hooper
In my practice of spiritual accompaniment, anchored in deep listening, I draw on a range of resources and practices, such as mindfulness, the Enneagram, and contemplative ecology.
I am available for spiritual accompaniment either in person in the Calgary area, or remotely.
