An invitation to move toward love, peace, and friendship with God.

Hi, I’m Jen.

As a spiritual director with 18 years of pastoral ministry experience, I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming, prayerful space for you to share your story and bring your whole self — questions, doubts, hopes, and all.

In addition to 1:1 spiritual direction, I offer workshops, retreats, and soul care experiences — designed to help you slow down, take a deep breath, and move toward love, peace, and authentic friendship with God.

If you’re looking for a space to explore your life with God without pressure, I’m here to support you.

Current Offerings

  • 1:1 Spiritual Direction

    Spiritual direction is a practice that helps you notice the presence and activity of God in everyday life.

    It's an invitation to attend to your friendship with God in a space of hospitality and open-hearted, prayerful listening. My approach to spiritual direction is grounded in the belief that God meets us right where we are.

    If you're seeking to deepen your connection with God, are navigating a time of change or discernment, wrestling with difficult questions, or experiencing a shift in your faith, spiritual direction is a meaningful practice to explore.

  • Silent Prayer Retreat

    In the midst of life’s busyness and distractions, Jesus offers a beautiful invitation: 

    "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.” - Matthew 11:28–30 (MSG)

    October is beautiful in Minnesota and it’s the perfect time to step away for a weekend of rest, renewal, and intentional time with God. Our retreat will take place at Pacem in Terris, a retreat center whose name means, “Peace on Earth” in Latin. Surrounded by the beauty and quiet of nature, it provides a peaceful setting to follow Jesus’ example of withdrawing to a solitary place to spend time with God.

    Each participant will stay in a private hermitage (cabin) nestled in the natural beauty of a forest, prairie, and wildlife lake. We’ll begin the weekend with a group experience and will reconnect on Sunday, leaving plenty of space in between to rest, pray, and explore at your own pace. 

    If this is your first experience with a silent retreat, rest assured that our pre-retreat meeting will provide everything you need to prepare for this weekend of simplicity, rest, and prayer.
