Collective flourishing grows from the soil of our inner lives.

I used to think that if I could change the world out there then it would make me feel safer and more free in here, within the nuances and textures of my everyday life. As a racial justice educator, I spent years teaching others about the systemic oppression in the world in hopes of changing their minds and inviting them to co-create a more just world with me. While I saw some progress, over time, being an activist led to tremendous burnout. I became disconnected from myself. I had poor boundaries. I lost sight of who I was and felt like I was trying to give from an empty well.

When I began tending to the landscape of my inner life, and by God’s grace, reconstructing a life of faith and spiritual rootedness, transformation unfolded within me & around me. This experience began healing the racial woundedness I’d carried from my youth. It clarified my sense of calling. It helped me remember my true identity as I began learning how to offer my gifts from a place of rootedness, authenticity, and rest. Now it is my joy to hold space for others to encounter the healing love and grace of God through the ministry of spiritual direction.
