  • Provide practical applications for both “being with” and “working with” the ruptures and residues of trauma.

What is Trauma-Informed Spiritual Direction?

The Wisdom Traditions tell us that suffering is unavoidable; there are storms and seasons, breaches and betrayals of trust.  


“Spirituality” concerns our connection to everything.  “Trauma” is our isolation, fragmentation, & disassociation and  is what happens inside of us when we suffer without compassionate companionship. 


Trauma-Informed Spiritual Direction is a supported journey of the restoration of safe and nurturing connections with our selves, others, Spirit, and the planet.
