NEW TRAINING

  I’m excited to share that I will be leading the Spiritual Mentoring Certificate Program at Tree of Life Interfaith Temple beginning in October! Some people feel a call to spiritual mentoring (also called spiritual direction or spiritual companioning) as a vocation. The skills of deep listening, holding space, and becoming comfortable discussing spirituality across faith …

Incite Love

A new day

I woke up at 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep. My mind kept turning over and over. What can one person do? I have anger, and I know that anyone (especially a woman) who acts out of anger get dismissed. I also know that Love is stronger than Fear – and there’s a whole …

From the Razor’s Edge

Where does your knowledge come from? Not the ‘book learning.’ Not the lessons imparted by your parents, friends, or society. The knowledge you have deep within. What I’m finding recently is a new appreciation for the knowledge gained by my times of intense struggle – being on the edge of death. There were the physical …

Musing on muses

Art by Arina @ar.t.ina on http://www.distance-fromto.com/instagram/ar.t.ina/2318632431

Who is your muse? Where do you find him or her? My muse tends to find me, rather than that other way around. Mine whispers to me while I’m driving, or wakes me up from a deep sleep. My muse can be playful or deadly serious. Generally, my muse is telling me to write – …

Grieving While Spiritual

Shelby 2011-03-03 at 15.09 #2

My dog died four weeks ago. To be honest, four weeks ago my husband and I made the decision to euthanize our dog. There wasn’t much of a ‘decision’ to make; she could no longer walk, and she was refusing both food and water. I came home from a working-vacation in Maine in order to …

Thoughts from God

The idea of marketing spiritual services is always a tough one. On the one hand, there is a tendency to want to rely on God to bring the right people to me (us), and therefore feel that any marketing work that I do somehow indicates a lack of trust. On the other hand is the …

A new intro to my work…

  What kind of relationship do you have with God? Is God as close as your breath, or does God not even exist? Does the Divine remind you of Her presence every day, or is She distant and judgmental? Is the Sacred found in the trees and sky, or is He present in the connections …
