Tending the Garden Within
Enter a sacred space of listening, movement, and reflection,
where your story meets God’s loving presence.
Below are three distinct pathways to tend your soul.
Choose the one that best honors your season of life.
Three Pathways to the Soul:
Traditional, Embodied, and Focused Spiritual Direction
We are each uniquely created by a God who speaks in more than words.
Sometimes He whispers through memory or Scripture, sometimes through tears or laughter. Other times, He stirs in the quiet places of the body: in the breath, the heartbeat, the ache, the release.
This is why I offer three sacred approaches to Spiritual Direction:
Tending the Soul, Embodied Soul-Tending, and Created Origins Soul-Tending.
Each is a ministry of listening.
Each creates space for the holy.
Each is rooted in the truth that you are the living knowledge of God.
But the pathways differ.
Tending the Soul:
Traditional Spiritual Direction
In the tradition of St. Ignatius, Traditional Spiritual Direction is a sacred space where we pause to reflect on the journey of your life, its joys and trials, longings and uncertainties, and listen together for God’s presence within it all.
You come just as you are.
We notice what stirs.
And over time, we begin to see how even the messy or mundane becomes clay in God’s creative hands.
We’ll explore:
-
Where you’ve experienced God’s nearness or absence
-
The spiritual movements of consolation and desolation
-
How desire, fear, resistance, or grace are shaping your response to life
Each session is a quiet, reflective conversation rooted in the belief that God is always at work in your becoming.
Embodied Soul-Tending: Embodied Spiritual Direction
This offering builds upon the Traditional Direction path and adds a powerful dimension: emotion-based movement and body awareness.
Using the Emotions Wheel and principles from St. Ignatius, we’ll name what you’re feeling and explore the graces being offered in those emotions. Ignatius teaches that every feeling, desire, aversion, and attraction can either lead us closer to God or away. By naming, honoring, and moving through them, we make space for deeper intimacy and integration.
We’ll explore:
-
The movement of emotion through the body
-
Where wounds live and how grace can release them
-
Prayerful movement practices to unlock blocked places
-
The love of God, not just understood but embodied
These sessions often include gentle breathwork, grounded postures, and intuitive movement, allowing you to encounter God's love in your own body, not just your thoughts.
Creation Origin Soul-Tending: Focused Spiritual Direction
Created Origins Soul-Tending is a sacred journey of remembering, of returning to your Genesis, where the breath of God formed you uniquely, intentionally, and with love.
Through this pathway, we uncover your Creation Theory: the spiritual and emotional blueprint God placed within you at the beginning. Rooted in the Book of Genesis, grounded in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and enriched by the Psalms, this approach weaves together Scripture, embodied prayer, elemental awareness, and reflective dialogue to help you discover how God created you to move, feel, love, and serve.
We begin with a gentle reflective quiz that explores the sacred patterns within you, specifically, how you mirror the Creative Qualities of God: Fire, Light, Air, Space, Earth, and Water. These are not abstract ideas; they are living invitations that help you hear God’s voice uniquely and clearly.
From there, our sessions will explore:
-
Your spiritual rhythm and how you best connect with God
-
Embodied prayer practices that align with your natural design
-
Insights from Scripture that affirm your purpose and story
-
Gentle movement and reflection that awaken freedom in your body and soul
-
Discernment tools to help you name and live from the place of your created identity
This is not therapy. This is not coaching. This is sacred listening, soul-tending that affirms that you are the living knowledge of God.
If you:
-
Feel disconnected from your purpose
-
Long to bring your body, heart, and spirit into union with God’s voice
-
Desire a faith journey that feels more alive, intuitive, and grounded
…then this offering was made for you.
Let us return to the Garden together, where God still walks, still whispers, and still creates through you.
Which is calling you?
You don’t need to choose perfectly. Often, we weave between these pathways depending on the season of the soul.
All three begin with a listening heart.
All three are rooted in love.
All three are meant to lead you home - to God, to yourself, and to the world you were created to serve.
If something within you stirs as you read, trust it.
That’s the Spirit tending the soil of your soul.
Not Sure Where to Begin? Let’s Discern Together.
If you're unsure which path is calling to you, Tending the Soul, Embodied Soul-Tending, or Created Origins Soul-Tending, I invite you to schedule a free 15–30 minute introductory session. This time allows us to gently listen together for where the Spirit may be leading, explore your desires, and discern the pathway that best supports your current season of life.
There is no pressure, just sacred space, prayerful curiosity, and a listening heart. Sometimes, the first step is simply saying: I’m ready to begin.
