TMC SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
Spiritual Direction for Trans Mission Ministry staff members.
THE DETAILS
Spiritual Direction is a spacious hour with a trained ear to help you explore your thoughts, emotions & experiences and with the intention of locating God's presence with you in them. Here you'll find nonjudgmental space to show up as your whole self and put words to how you feel in your soul about life & faith. Sessions are filled with curious questions, compassionate witnessing, pregnant pauses, and aha-moments as you begin to release shame, embrace your enoughness and recognize the ways you are deeply seen, held and loved. All sessions are confidential and can include art-making if desired. ABOUT ELIZA JANE: Eliza (they/them) is a trauma-informed Spiritual Director, therapist in training, and aspiring good-enoughist. They love helping others deconstruct their beliefs while overcoming religious shame, hurt, and trauma. As a trauma informed spiritual director, Eliza is deeply aware of how religious shame & trauma can affect our ability to draw close to God and keep us from becoming our most authentic self. They take a deeply affirming, whole-person approach; offering Spiritual Direction through a queer & neurodivergent lens and with underpinnings in somatic (body) awareness, integrative parts work (IFS), and therapeutic art. When not in sessions, Eliza can be found working toward becoming a licensed therapist, making messy art, or tending to their own soul.
