Offerings

My practice is informed by my commitment to softness. Through attentive listening and questions, we can explore together what it looks like to practice and affirm the gentle landing you deserve.

I am open to working with individuals for monthly sessions and shaping resources for group direction.

These offerings are made with the expressed purpose of serving people of the global majority. Particularly those who are activists, organizers, cultural workers, creatives, spiritual leaders, and caregivers seeking spiritual care that is geared toward individual and communal liberation.

Grounded in a deep commitment to all embodied realities, I am mystic-positive, queer-affirming, and trauma-conscience.

Our co-created companioning space can be one of refuge for those who are deconstructing and/or seeking spiritual practices toward the construction of an expansive, liberatory faith.

Please note: Spiritual direction is not a supplement for therapy/counseling/mental health services.

Heads up—I hate the phrase “Can I pick your brain?”

But I love a good conversation and am always enthusiastic about pointing people toward valuable resources, practices, and principles. With a focus on collaborative conversations with individuals and communities, I am open to consulting to co-create gentle landing spaces, cultures, and practices. Gentle landing presumes an ethical commitment to well-being and justice—personal work and structural change.

Here are some topics I have consulted on in the past:

-Engaging Black contemplative thought

-Decentering whiteness in spiritual formation

-Reframing vocational discernment around rest

-Creating anti-oppressive and anti-burnout work cultures

-Practicing and clarifying rest ethics and practices for communities

-Unblocking creativity and imagination

-Tools, study, and writing methods for seminary students

-Using digital media tools and strategies for content creation

As an educator, I have taught at a Christian college and with church organizations on practical theology and ethics for the sake of social justice. My courses have explored Christian faith, protest, and racial justice by exploring the historical and theological roots of racism and anti-racist resistance in the US context. I co-facilitated an intercultural studies course on leadership, power, and privilege in diverse contexts, focusing on racial justice and identity integrations as well as hip-hop missiology. I enjoy teaching in a facilitative style with students, integrating liturgy, poetry, and popular culture into my lessons. 

I work best when I can transgress disciplinary boundaries and ask questions that engage multiple subject areas, such as:

-Vocational Discernment (redefined to include rest as vocation) 

-(Theo)poetics, Creativity, Imagination

-Black poetry & literature

-Black contemplative thought

-Social Justice & Christian Ethics

-Critical Pedagogy

-Trauma, Identity Formation & Spiritual Care

Previous Classes:

-Reconciliation & Justice

-Christian Faith, Protest, & Racial Justice
