My deepest joys are having family time with our 4 adult children and our 5 grandchildren, being in nature and enjoying the fruits of my labour from the veggie garden to table. My spiritual journey took a dramatic shift when in 2006 my husband and I walked the Camino to Santiago to mark our 25 years of marriage and our 50th birthdays. It was a true Dadirri experience of entering into silence, deep listening and transformation. Upon returning I knew my internal work was not complete therefore I engaged in the 30 week Ignatian retreat. In time I completed my Spiritual Direction formation and now experience companioning as a very sacred space to participate in and continues to be my teacher of the landscape of the heart. More recently I helped facilitate an Ignatian Retreat of the First Spiritual Exercises and look forward to future work with the exercises. Having the support of the CSD professional development days are of great value.
