Welcome!
I am glad you're here! Art and Soul’s mission is to create a place to nourish and encourage your soul and help you in your faith journey through spiritual direction and various contemplative practices, workshops, and retreats. Take a look at all that Art and Soul offers. I’m sure you’ll find something here that refreshes your spirit and helps you connect deeply to the Creator and Lover of your soul!
Art and Soul Ministries offers a place of welcome, nurture and rest for your soul. My vision for Art and Soul is “soul care”, by offering a variety of ways to nurture your faith journey and help you grow in awareness of God in your life. One way is through a practice called Spiritual Direction.
We all have sacred life stories, and as a certified Spiritual Director, I am here to help you notice how God is weaving the seemingly disconnected treads of your story into a beautiful tapestry of meaning. Spiritual Direction is sometimes called “soul friendship”. As a soul friend, I host a quiet space for you to seek God in a slow and mindful time of conversation and prayer. This is a conversation between three, as we invite God’s presence and dwell there.

In addition to Spiritual Direction and other time honored contemplative practices, Art and Soul Ministries also offers soul care through the arts. Part of my mission was to create ways to encourage art as a sacred practice. The first words in the bible are “God created”. We should view creativity as something of incredible value if that was the first thing God wanted to share with us! With a background of over 30 years in art, I love helping people dig deeper into their creativity to experience God through viewing and making art. As image bearers of God we are all by nature creative! Creativity and the arts are one of the ways we can join with and experience God as our creator.
“What art offers is space-a certain breathing room for the spirit.” --John Updike
I would love to help you nurture your journey of faith through individual Spiritual Direction, group direction, and contemplative life or contemplative art workshops and retreats. All the details are within the pages here. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find something that stirs your heart and spirit toward God.
