SPIRITUAL DIRECTION IS A MYSTIC’S LANTERN

“If you do not have someone to guide you, to hold onto you during the times of not knowing, you will normally stay at your present level of growth.” –Fr. Richard Rohr

I offer Spiritual Direction sessions from an interfaith perspective. These sessions are here to help you:

  1. Uncover the voice of Spirit (God/Goddess/Higher Power/Source/etc.) within you

  2. Deepen your relationship to the Sacred

  3. Look for the presence and signs of guidance from Spirit (God/Goddess/Higher Power/Source/etc.)

  4. Understand the current cycle you are in & gain meaning from this cycle

  5. Uncover the wisdom of past cycles of your life & gain healing insight from past challenges

  6. Integrate spirituality in your day-to-day living with meaningful practices

  7. Discover your purpose and calling, or strengthen your purpose and calling

  8. Connect to the Earth and all living beings

  9. Learn to trust the Unknown and deepen your capacity to sit with paradox & mystery

Using a process of deep witnessing, inquiry, faith and presence we will nurture the flame in your lantern. Additionally, during these sessions I may offer prayers, light candles, and consult cards to help guide the process.

Spiritual Direction is not:

  1. telling you what or who to believe in

  2. telling your future

  3. therapy

  4. devaluing anyone’s faith or excusing violence, discrimination or prejudice in any form

My faith tradition involves: folk/esoteric Christianity with an emphasis on Mary and the Saints, Tantric (non-dual) teachings from the Goddess lineage, earth-based reverence from animist perspective (the world as alive, holy, and sentient), ancient Mystery & pre-Christian pagan traditions, gnosis (direct spiritual experience), the path of the Priestess, and personal/private initiations from my own local & global Teachers.

I was raised within a mystical Orthodox (Greek, my heritage) & Catholic community, gradually widening my perspective with an interest in Celtic spirituality from an early age. By my early 20’s I had begun a serious study of Goddess, Tantric, magical and earth-based practices and have regularly met with teachers and directors since this time. At 40, I keep a temple at home within my living lineage.

If you would like to meet with me, please send me a detailed email.

Sessions are $100/1 hour via Zoom. A package of 5 sessions is offered at a discounted rate of $470.

One of the fatal aspects of reductionist culture is the poverty of its questions. Real questions are subverted and sidelined. This atmosphere allows no patience for questions that would go to the root of our dilemma. A real question is more creative and interesting than a secure answer. Such a question is a lamp that illuminates its own direction and territory as it proceeds.
