Deepen You Capacity to Lead From the Inside-Out

with Dr. Julene

Spiritual Direction for (aspiring)

Peace Leaders

Grow the soul capacity to lead peace from the inside out.

When everything shifts, who are you becoming?

You might be navigating a spiritual unraveling, a life transition, a vocational change, or simply a quiet ache that says,
"Something has to change."

If you’re in the messy middle—uncertain, disoriented, and asking deeper questions—this space is for you.

Spiritual direction is not about giving answers. It’s about cultivating the inner stillness and strength to listen for the wisdom already stirring within you.

Who This Is For

You might be…

  • Holding grief or loss that has disrupted your sense of identity

  • Leading change in your community or organization and feeling stretched thin

  • Discerning how to live with integrity in systems that don’t align with your values

  • Longing to reconnect your inner life with your outer leadership

  • Craving soulful, unhurried space where nothing needs to be fixed or performed

You don’t have to do it alone.

What I Offer

I companion people who are trying to make sense of disruption, listen for God in the silence, and reclaim their inner wisdom.

Together, we slow down, pay attention, and begin to hear what’s emerging in your story.

In our time together, you’ll receive:

  • A sacred, confidential space to bring your questions, doubts, longings, and grief

  • A gentle, non-judgmental presence rooted in contemplative Christian tradition

  • Practices to ground your nervous system, clarify your purpose, and deepen your trust in God

  • A spiritual mirror to reflect your becoming—not fixing or pushing, just holding what’s real

  • Optional practices and resources between sessions to help you integrate your insights

    Why Soul Capacity Matters

    Peacemaking is more than a strategy—it’s a way of being.

    To lead peace in your family, community, or vocation, you need inner resilience, emotional wisdom, and the ability to stay present in discomfort. These are not personality traits. They are spiritual muscles that grow with practice and support.

    This is the soul work beneath justice work.
    This is the inner life that sustains outer leadership.

    Professional Development / Continuing Ed Credit

    If you’re a clergy person, nonprofit leader, or educator, spiritual direction may qualify as a professional development or continuing education expense.

    I offer Certificates of Completion for 3- or 6-hour packages, which you may use for reimbursement or continuing ed credit.
