A Cove….a small sheltered bay… a place to drop anchor for a bit…a place to explore deeper…a place to delight…a protected place….a place that lets in light…a place to learn…a place to listen…a place to try on courage…a place to practice…a place to connect….a place to……drop in and see how we may be able to support your soul.
Our Services
Spiritual Direction/Soul Companioning
I offer support to all ages seeking to deepen their relationship with themselves and the Divine. Through creating an atmosphere of listening, we work together to see how the Divine is at work in one’s life. Our work will likely start and end with a poem or a prayer welcoming in the Spirit and settling ourselves for a bit of silence. As we work together, we will explore questions, look for clues, and listen together for answers. Knowing the answer is within you, there are no diagnoses or special prescriptions for change, rather I companion/journey beside you as the Spirit shapes and moves in your own life. Spiritual practices may be offered, the Enneagram may be explored, and space is made to tend to the inner landscape. These conversations deepen the awareness of who we are as spiritual beings and how we are called to move about in the world.
Retreats and Pilgrimages
I offer soul care contemplative retreats for your organization or group. Feeling tired, disconnected, or lacking creativity? Let’s talk and see how we can spark joy and connection back in the life of your group.
Also, I offer twice yearly pilgrimages to various sites. Check back to see where we are going next!
Teen Cove
My first career was working with kids and teens and figuring out what was going on and how we could help. I still love working with teens but will now be offering day retreats and camps focusing on teen wellness, creativity, and yoga. Keep an eye out here for more to come.
ABOUT LAURA
Originally educated in the pine forests and creeks of eastern North Carolina, and then the halls of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Laura spent 20 years in the world of psychology diagnosing and offering treatment strategies for children/teens/young adults and supporting parents on this journey. While this was very helpful and needed work, Laura started to sense that she was being called into a deeper and wider way of supporting healing and wholeness in the community. Laura took some time away from private practice work and immersed herself into contemplative leadership and retreat training with the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation and then she completed Spiritual Direction Training at the Haden Institute. Along the way, she also completed training to teach children’s yoga. Laura values God’s gift of diversity and the wholeness made possible through sharing and growing in community. Laura welcomes and affirms all people.
