And we lit candles under an archway of wisteria and said the things that needed to be said. Then, taking time for silence, breathing in that scented vine, the feelings could come and the tears could flow. This was the ending that was also a beginning. Now, each day the work is staying present and offering witness in the tough and tender times. Creating retreats. Shaping sacred space. Offering spiritual mentorship. Designing transformative learning experiences for soul care. Specializing in art as a spiritual practice. Helping heal hearts with rituals for grief and gratitude. Translating between secular conversations and religious traditions. Open, affirming, progressive, inclusive - telling stories and listening deeply. I help people make meaning, repair relationships, practice being human - often laughing, always with heart.
