The art of writing expresses and explores aspects of mystery and grace.  Mystical expressions of contemplative faith resonate between silence and words as I listen and write.  With intention, my voice invites awareness to overlapping circles of creation and the Christ within it all.  The creative process is dynamic, has a relational quality, and gives insight gained through honest spiritual struggles of an open heart and mind.  I value retreats as a safe space to learn, labor, and be vulnerable to others and oneself.  This helps us find our voice, craft words into story, and honor our own unique expressions.

I am a writer, pastor, and contemplative spiritual director and focus on sermon, poetry, and story both at the desk and in the garden.  I tend to share about spirituality and beekeeping.  With humility and thankfulness, I am glad to be part of this service to the community.
