Within our parish ecosystem, we value rest, wellness, and peace. We normalize slowing down and attunement. Sometimes we need to spend time with another person we trust. Sometimes this means friends, perhaps a therapist, or a spiritual director. A person who has been educated, formed, and equipt to listen, to guide, & rest in the slowness of discernment.
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you:
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
1 John 1:5
It is easier to find guides, someone to tell you what to do,
than someone to be with you in a discerning, prayerful companionship
as you work it out for yourself.
This is what spiritual direction is.

Luminous Spiritual Directors
Katie Jordan
Katie has been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) for 14 years and is currently in training to become a certified Spiritual Director, with an emphasis in Ignatian Spirituality.
Katie offers a safe space to explore your relationship with the Divine through trauma-informed, embodied contemplative practices. Her desire is to companion you on your journey of living into your belovedness.

Tim Head
Tim has been in ministry and non-profit work for around 20 years.
After falling in love with spiritual formation and liturgical traditions, he wanted to dive deeper into helping people facilitate attunement to God in all of life. He became a certified spiritual director several from Lipscomb university and has been facilitating spiritual direction since 2017. Tim has a deep passion to help see people through their “deconstruction” process and out the other side, wherever that may lead. The dark night of the soul can be a lonely, and exhausting place and we weren’t meant to journey through that life experience alone.
Tim is grateful to be a part of a church community that is in pursuit of greater wholeness by engaging the rich history of the contemplative/mystical stream and he excited to participate in resurrection life in the world together.
Vanessa Sadler
As a trauma-informed practitioner, Vanesa approaches client sessions with the understanding that our styles of relating with God, ourselves and others were not formed in a vacuum. Our formative years and stories shape who we are today and are worth exploring with curiosity and kindness.
Vanessa is a certified Spiritual Director with an emphasis in Ignation Spirituality, and a certified enneagram teacher. She has also completed extensive training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care through The Allender Center, located within The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology where she is currently a Fellow.
One of the main objectives of spiritual direction is to help people discover that they already have something to give. What matters most, what transforms, is the influence of a humble, vulnerable witness to the truth.
