Contemplative Mentorship

Contemplative Mentorship is a space for individuals seeking support in deepening their spiritual practice and contemplative life.

​

My approach is informed by over a decade of dedicated meditation practice and study of contemplative and embodied traditions, including training in spiritual care across a range of faith and wisdom traditions. I identify as a Buddhist practitioner, and my work is grounded in both lived practice and ongoing inquiry.

 

In the spirit of the Buddhist concept of kalyāṇamitra - often translated as “spiritual friend” - this offering is intended as a supportive, collaborative relationship for those seeking to cultivate a more intentional contemplative life. Together, we can explore your relationship to spirituality, practice, meaning, embodiment, and the realities of being human in this challenging world. We may also work with the roadblocks, questions, or tensions that arise along the path of practice.

 

Mentorship sessions include:

• One 90-minute session per month

• A collaborative, conversational space to explore spirituality, contemplative practice, and personal inquiry

• Support in working with obstacles, questions, or periods of uncertainty that may arise within spiritual life

• Opportunities to engage in shared contemplative practices - such as meditation, prayer, or embodied awareness practices - in ways that support your own path

• Optional outdoor sessions during the warmer months, including contemplative walking or sitting practices in nature

 

This offering may be particularly supportive for individuals who already have an established contemplative or spiritual practice, or who are seeking guidance in integrating practice more fully into daily life.

 

*Please Note: Contemplative Mentorship is offered as a separate, non-psychotherapy service and is not intended as mental health treatment or crisis support. I do not work with psychotherapy and contemplative mentorship clients concurrently. Thank you for your understanding.
