Wow. So much has changed from June of 2019. The world had no idea what 2020 had in store. We are forever changed. In the fall of 2019 I began a 2 year certification to become a spiritual director. We began by meeting together for instruction and practice and then in March 2020 we had to pivot to meeting online as much of the world did also.
I paused taking new health coach clients as I immersed myself in the Spiritual Director Formation Program. In the 4 years since my last blog post, I have graduated the program and I also became the Executive Director of a small nonprofit called Journey Center Santa Rosa. We are a Christ-centered home for contemplative spirituality where all spiritual paths are welcome. We’ve been around for 15 years as of this writing. It has been my deep joy to serve the community in this way. One of the offerings that has been so life giving is a monthly gathering in nature called Wild Journey.
I continue to keep up my Primal Health Coach certification and have just recently accepted new clients. Having the training as a spiritual director has only enhanced my coaching. I see how deep, reflective listening is a beautiful way to create safe, sacred space to accompany people on their journey whether it is in the context of their health journey or their spirituality. It’s all connected.
