In the pathway of our lives, we all have uneven places where our foundations were not well built.  Traumas and losses can be like diversion or rocky places where we get stuck again and again.   

Developmental Soul Care is an invitation to just such a journey into wholeness. The use of spiritual, creative, and life practices invite the Presence of God to bring profound experiences of love and safety. Over time, this can repair the uneven places in our foundations, as new neuro-pathways of experiences are built.  

* Revisit your life journey with the Holy Spirit as Guide and Healer
* Invite the Voice of God to instill truths at each life stage.
* Build on current understanding of neuroscience to offer repair to
   developmental and attachment issues.  
* Bring transformation through an experiential, encounter based approach to your
   relationship with God.  

That's what Developmental Soul Care is all about!

GOD LOVES TO REPAIR OUR FOUNDATIONS
Because the One who loves them—as a mother loves her child—will be their guide. God will lead them to restful places, rejuvenating springs of water.

 
WHAT'S THE APPROACH?

Spiritual Practices
There will be an invitation to interact with God through scripture, worship, prayer, and personalized spiritual practices that help you to connect with God at the heart level.

Creative Practices
Your spiritual director will aid you to select key creative practices that deepen your experience of what God is revealing to you. For example: creative journaling; coloring; doodling; sketching; art; flip books with images of significant encounters with God; dance; play. Having fun is an intended part of the process!

Key Developmental Tools
You will be choosing life rhythms, activities and tasks that assist you in experiencing comfort, safety and love in your relationship with God, others and yourself. Implementing these are part of restoring neurological pathways and experiential truths.

 

My faith/spiritual background.
I am personally anchored within Christian spirituality.  I have an affinity with the mystic expressions of all faith traditions. I honour the holy wherever I find it. I am comfortable working with people of faith and with those who consider themselves spiritual but not religious. I seek to listen for the way the Sacred shows up in your life.
