Each circle is carefully assembled, led, and guided by me. I create a sacred space (either in-person or over Zoom) to deeply attune to the Spirit’s movement and help cultivate the group’s harmony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/fc9fa847-4816-4c2d-84b0-ef8c96788257/IMG_0051.jpg Group Listening Circles - Finding Intimacy in Community Listening Circles meet a deep longing to more intentionally connect with others. They are an enriching addition to individual Spiritual Direction or can be done on their own. Circles allow you to be formed by the presence and prayerful support of fellow spiritual travelers, and each takes on its own unique energy and dynamic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/7853059d-692f-441d-bf52-ef07582c089a/IMG_0924.jpeg Group Listening Circles - Following a Clear Structure Listening Circles follow a timed structure that ensures each participant is given equal space to be heard and benefit from the rich offerings of the group. We begin with a guided meditation. Then, the first person is invited to share. The circle deeply listens to the person sharing and to the Spirit’s gentle promptings. After a few moments of silence, the circle prayerfully responds following the guidelines of our listening covenant. The process is then repeated for each person. (adapted from Quaker Clearness Committees) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/5e70271c-17ac-455a-afc5-a881f2dd1cae/IMG_0181+2.jpg Group Listening Circles - Sharing in Deep Listening Circles are meant to help each participant uncover their own inner wisdom and guidance. In the listening covenant participants commit to not fixing, giving advice, judging, or interrupting. Together, we create a safe and spacious space for you to listen to your own heart, speak your truth, and hear yourself clearly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/324ae20e-c565-497a-9eaa-c684196afb73/IMG_0509.jpeg Group Listening Circles - Taking Time to Grow Together Spiritual growth alongside others takes time, which is why each Listening Circle is scheduled a month apart. Time between sessions allows you to bring new and dynamic material from your lived experiences to share with the group. Journeying together over a designated period of 5 sessions enables you to build trust and empowers you to grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/f22a0861-5ea1-45da-bf4a-4721db0a5e56/IMG_0505.jpg Group Listening Circles - Continuing Your Circle Once your circle has completed its 5 sessions you may choose to continue to meet on your own. I will help you get started and continue to be available to you as a consultant. You may also start meeting with me for individual Spiritual Direction at any time! https://www.ordinaryliturgy.com/spiritual-direction daily 0.75 2023-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/d5feedbd-8c75-4490-9afb-45a6d6d7609a/IMG_4933+2.jpeg Individual Guidance - Discerning God’s Movement Spiritual Direction involves meeting with a companion (in this case, me) on a regular basis to discern God’s movement in your life. Each person’s session looks different, as receiving guidance is a practice in responding to God’s Spirit (or however you identify divinity) dynamically at work in the present moment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/5298bf08-d3ff-4e80-859f-cde5933f276c/IMG_0890.jpeg Individual Guidance - Continuing an Ancient Practice While adapted to modern times, Spiritual Direction (also called Spiritual guidance or companionship) is an ancient practice. It is found in some form in every faith tradition. Christianity draws on the lineage including Jesus with his disciples, Desert Fathers and Mothers, Anchorites and Mystics, monastic communities, and priests with laity. Today people are bringing this skill of holy listening into their work as chaplains, therapists, and varying roles as faith leaders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/f6d1c037-21ac-4619-974f-6b83ce6e5371/DSCN1461.jpg Individual Guidance - Addressing a Spiritual Need Spiritual Direction can help you see your life’s journey from a spiritual perspective, bringing clarity to your course of action and pathways to your soul’s growth. Unlike other modalities, Spiritual Direction focuses on addressing your spiritual need and allows God’s Spirit to lead the process. While it doesn’t replace psychiatric care or medical treatments, it can be a helpful accompaniment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/959bf794-6a41-4ee0-9841-672e3f376454/3A9E0EE3-CAF5-440F-BC21-2AE9D5E70F4B.jpg Individual Guidance - Sharing in Deep Listening As a Spiritual Director, my role is to create a sacred space for you to hear your own inner wisdom. We begin with a moment of silence. You are then invited to share whatever is at the forefront for you. I prayerfully listen to you and the Spirit, offering insight and guidance when needed. Together, we practice listening from a deeper, more spacious place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/04249404-a3b1-424b-b3be-fd62296ea391/IMG_1270-1.jpg Individual Guidance - Inner Growth Takes Time Inner growth and healing take time, which is why each session is scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart. Allowing some time between sessions empowers you to seek God first, foster resiliency, and learn to trust in your own inner wisdom. It also helps distinguish our Spiritual Direction relationship from other therapeutic models: your primary attachment is to God and I am a companion in your journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/10516a55-59e6-4e63-b7a2-7366057c4ce8/IMG_0204.jpg Individual Guidance - Continuing Your Journey At any time, you are welcome to schedule another session or purchase a package and get one free. Spiritual Direction can be done for a specific period of time (like in discerning a life transition) or for extended periods (like for ongoing spiritual growth and self-understanding). You may also decide your journey is complete at this time, and discontinue or take a break. I will continue to be available to you should a need arise. https://www.ordinaryliturgy.com/pricing-and-process-1 daily 0.75 2023-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/f8026d1f-bee7-4c20-af73-b94084990b59/IMG_1893.JPG https://www.ordinaryliturgy.com/pricing-and-process-1-1 daily 0.75 2023-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/d4399cd1-2805-4d39-9c7f-57f84440b98c/0F47922B-86D2-495A-91C6-825A385147EF.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/bfdbbfcd-2c8b-4459-af15-55c855fdfbd7/3A9E0EE3-CAF5-440F-BC21-2AE9D5E70F4B.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/c3fb0554-175a-4f0c-b39f-c5b499ee51d1/IMG_1202%2B2+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/7b35a1c1-9e78-42ef-af45-66ad6df58722/Screen+Shot+2023-05-05+at+12.40.13+PM.jpg https://www.ordinaryliturgy.com/home-1 daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e487d6afdad775d986d476e/eb83675b-8d3b-4a5f-90b8-a46e57c31694/IMG_0366.JPG Home (Copy) - The Art of Soulful Living.
