Painting commisions-
When working with clients, I bring in my experience in the fields of architecture and interior design, my degrees in psychology and sociology, and my certification as a spiritual director to get to know you and create a piece that meets your longings. Whether you are looking for a decorative piece to express your style, your unique self, or you are looking for a piece to use as your contemplative practice, it is my pleasure to get to know you and create just the right piece for you.

Custom Vision Board and Soul Portraits.
By integrating lectio and visio divina, minute book, and digital collage technique an image is created that can remind one who they are at a soul level in under a minute. In a soul portrait session, a client may guide the process of having the image created for them or be instructed on how to create their own.

Download free Practice Houston Worksheets

What if practicing awareness, forgiveness, gratitude, etc, could be as easy as a fill in the blank worksheet? Give these a try. These worksheets are based on secular and monastic practices. They are best when paired with a practice session with a one on one consultation or in a group setting for deeper connection, accountability, and celebration.

When working with groups and individuals, I carefully select and customize practices to appeal to a variety of issues, interests and comfort zones. I am finding that they are relevant and effective for a variety of learning styles and personality types; intellectual and analytical, emotional and expressive, religious and secular. 
The path is yours.  I am here to hear, understand, walk with you, and provide tools and/or referrals so that you can uncover your path for yourself and/or the community you lead.
