Direction
Spiritual direction is primarily a listening space, where a trained spiritual director listens deeply to your story and your experiences with God. It is a safe space to question, doubt, and slowly participate in the work of transformation.

[Holly's] Advent mini-retreat came at a moment of needed grace and space, to be able to be quietly present while [she] led us through reflection of our lives, naming what is real within them, and creating intention for within this year’s Advent.

My experience in a spiritual direction group with Holly was formative as I turned 40 and wrestled with motherhood and balancing my career and relationships. Throughout our group’s ten months together, Holly provided an open and welcome space for the group to listen to each other and share in which everyone felt loved and supported. No matter how difficult our circumstances, she always brought us back to a place of nonjudgment and attunement to God’s voice.

Holly offers the gift of attunement. I always leave my time with her feeling more at peace, more grounded, more connected to God and myself.
