Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is the process of spiritual accompaniment through contemplative listening, in a one-on-one trusting and confidential relationship. I am here to hold space for you to explore, deepen, or perhaps question your relationship with the sacred. People come to spiritual direction for lots of different reasons- some are newer to developing a spiritual path and seeking support opening to the possibility, some are seasoned spiritual leaders looking for support on their own spiritual journey as they hold others through theirs.
Others are traveling through a challenging life transition and want help attuning to the spiritual resource that they know is available to them, but perhaps can’t access as fully as they would like. There are no prerequisites for spiritual direction. If you feel drawn or have questions, reach out- I’m happy to help you discern if it's the right fit for you.
My lineage/Who I serve
I am trained as a spiritual director with Still Harbor, a non-denominational, queer and trans led spiritual direction program focused on spiritual accompaniment for those working towards collective liberation. I am also a Kohenet/Hebrew Priestess, I was ordained with the title: Merapeit al Pnei Zman, She Who Heals Across Time. I draw on my own lineage, my connection to the sacred, the earth and to my bright and benevolent ancestors. With your permission, I will also draw on your connection to the sacred in our work together. In this way, I work across spiritual and religious traditions. I am called to serve all those on the path of collective liberation.
Coaching for Collective Liberation
Drawing on 20+ years of leadership in grassroots organizations with a deep commitment to racial justice, I will work with you to bring yourself and your organizations into greater alignment. Too often non-profit leaders are taught that if we work harder & faster to fight the mass scale of inequity we are facing, we will succeed. Instead we often end up replicating the very systems of oppression we are working so hard to dismantle. New pathways and bold leadership are needed to bring us all closer to collective liberation. It’s time we create new tools, walk new paths and make new ways of being and transforming together. It’s time to unlearn patterns of white supremacy culture that have become woven into our organizations and seed beloved transformational communities.
I am here to support you as a leader and your organization in doing just that: to move at right pace and in right relationship, to make your work sustainable, to anchor in abundance, to center racial justice. As a seasoned Executive Director, a Mother, and a Kohenet/Hebrew Priestess, I bring a rooted, calming presence and a wealth of expertise and wisdom to my practice. I am here to guide you to your wisest, most resourced self.
Together we will assess your needs & your organization to determine where to begin.
Projects may include:
● Sustainability: Making the work sustainable for you as a leader and for your organization as a whole.
● Spiritual Practice & Presence: Anchoring your leadership in spiritual practice and presence.
● Embedding Racial Justice: Integrating Racial Justice into your long term plan, ensuring buy in & investment at every level of the organization.
● Budgeting: Moving from a scarcity to abundance mindset and heartset.
● Transformational Culture: Moving from a Transactional culture to a Relational and Transformational culture within your Staff and Board.
I take on a select number of coaching clients each year, please reach out if you’re interested and share a bit about your/your organization’s needs & hopes for working together.
Life Cycle Ritual & Support
It is my honor to hold space for people through each of life’s sacred portals.
These moments offer potent opportunities for healing.
I work with individuals, couples, families to co-create rituals to help you mark a portal crossing such as the birth of a new baby, a marriage or the loss of a loved one.
I am also available to hold space for you or a loved one while navigating your way through a sacred transition and discerning what you may want and need.
I will bring a grounded, supportive presence to accompany and guide you through.
In this work, I root in my relationship to the sacred, to the earth, and to my bright and benevolent ancestors. I also draw on my training from:
Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute where I was ordained as a Hebrew Priestess
Still Harbor where I trained as a Spiritual Director
Hebrew Senior Life where I completed one unit of Clinical Pastoral Education
