Where We Love ...
MILESTONES
There's nothing quite like seeing a couple in front of me about to be married, or knowing I am about to bless a baby or new home.
Milestones matter. The way you honor and celebrate them matters.
Let me help you share the story of your life.
Where We Learn ...
Our Spiritual Writers Academy welcomes writers of all backgrounds and levels of experience.
They may be ministers who want to write more impactful sermons and ceremonies; light workers or shamans who have an idea for a book or blog; or secular individuals crafting a collection of poems or romance novel.
We just ask that you have a deep desire to live and write from the heart.

• How do I walk the mystic path?
• How can mystic wisdom help me answer
life's big questions and find inner peace?

Life's milestones matter. Taking the time to honor or mark them in some significant way is a gift to yourself and your loved ones.

COUNSELING WITH THE ENNEAGRAM
• Identify your primary type
• Explore your light and shadow
• Improve relationships with others
