“Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Centre, a speaking voice, to which we may continuously return.”      Thomas Kelly

Upon reading the above I began to listen deeply within to discern this Holy Voice. I read lots of books, had a deep devotional life with Jesus by my side,  but upon landing in a quagmire of emotional burdens I sought the help of a spiritual director to guide me on a path of healing and wholeness. The inside journey invited me deeper and wider and in time led me to pursue training in Spiritual Direction with Soulstream, to commit to following a contemplative path, and seek circles of companions. My spirituality has deepened through praying the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, through Enneagram studies, through exploring a wide range of spiritual practices that integrate the wisdom of head, heart and body, and most of all, through companioning others on their faith journeys.

I love to hike through forests, paddle on rivers and lakes, traverse snow-covered fields on skis or snow shoes, and beach comb with my wise and wonderful dog Bella by my side.
