Spirit Northwest

Hello and merry meet! I am a Spiritual Director or Companion.

I have been a practicing Pagan since the late '70s. I am a Priest and death/end-of-life doula. Although raised in the Jewish community, I always felt stronger ties to my spirituality and nature.

A spiritual director provides a safe space for seekers to express their thoughts and needs about their journey. That point may be when they are in that safe and sacred space or at a particular moment.

As a spiritual companion, I embody the role of a "torchbearer," a guide who has traversed similar inner territories, offering insights, reflective questions, and listening deeply to aid the seeker’s understanding of their spiritual path.

One emphasizes the importance of authenticity, active listening, and open dialogue, respecting that the seeker’s journey is theirs. Rather than providing answers, I open the Seeker to find clarity within themselves, often recommending practices like journaling to reveal insights and patterns.

I will bring discernment, meditation, journaling, art, and practices honed from 25 years as a global executive across three continents. My professional work includes digital strategy and transformation, earning ten best-in-class awards for companies I've served. As a business thought leader, I've spoken worldwide as a priest and digital strategy expert, including the World Economic Forum and the Parliament of World Religions.

We will delve into

• Your spiritual beliefs and goals. 
• Explorations of your questions about lifeDiscuss your strongly held beliefs and modes you can use to explore the questions in your life 
• Grief, loss, death, and how it plays a role in your life. 
• I am Death Doula, and I am trained through INELDA. I employ Continuing Bonds Theory to discuss death and maintain connections with loved ones.

I provide end-of-life doula services based on kispum, the 4500-year-old tradition. Through kispum, we maintain an ongoing relationship with the deceased, and modern Continuing Bonds theory supports the practices and benefits.

We hear most often, “I’ve never done this before.” I provide a path for the dying and grief and bereavement services for the friends, family, and communities left behind.

In the secular world, I am a C-Suite executive and have led teams of 3,000. I provide growth through technology product launch and market expansion. Today, I work as a fractional CEO and Digital Strategy Officer.

I serve on the Board of Directors for Cherry Hill Seminary, the leading education provider and practical training in leadership, ministry, and personal growth in Pagan and Nature-Based spiritualities.
