Embodied Soul-Tending
A ministry of feeling, freedom and the Voice of Love within
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 of Loyola, we’ll name what you’re feeling and explore the graces being offered in those emotions. Ignatius teaches that every desire, feeling, aversion, and attraction either leads us toward God or away from God. Through compassionate naming, honoring, and prayerful movement, we begin to uncover how God is speaking through the very landscape of our inner life.
These sessions are not simply about understanding emotions, they are about embodying love, presence, and truth.
What is Embodied Soul-Tending
Embodied Soul-Tending, in its foundation, is a sacred, five-month one-on-one journey that helps you listen more deeply beyond thought, beyond story into the quiet, living wisdom of your own body.
This is the next movement in Soul-Tending: a deeper level of listening, where spiritual direction meets somatic awareness.
Our monthly session invites you to:
-
Feel the movement of emotion through your body
-
Notice where your wounds reside and where grace desires to flow
-
Practice gentle breathwork and movement to release what's blocked
-
Discern between the voice of the False Spirit and the True Voice of Love
-
Embody your belovedness and live with deeper freedom
After this five-month journey, if you choose, we continue to delve deeper, sitting with God among the identified emotions.
What You Can Expect
Each 60-minute session includes:
-
Centering and embodied awareness (seated and accessible)
-
Naming emotions, feelings, desires, and aversions
-
Guided chair-based movement and breathwork
-
Spiritual direction and soul reflection
-
Scripture-based practices that root you in the love of God
No yoga experience is necessary. These sessions are about presence, not performance.
An Invitation to Encounter the Still Small Voice Within
This isn’t therapy, and it’s more than direction. This is spiritual listening through the body.
It’s a practice of remembering what your soul already knows:
that God is closer than your next breath and longs to meet you in what you feel, not just what you think.
You are invited into a sacred rhythm, a space to be seen, known, and companioned as you move toward the voice of Love within you.
