📜 Not a Comeback. A Reconciliation.
This week, I shared the most personal and important piece I’ve written in a while. It’s part memoir, part spiritual reckoning, and it sets the tone for everything this space will be going forward.
If you’ve been following me through my winding journey—from Catholic roots to New Thought stages, and now into Lutheran ministry—this post ties the threads together. It’s about integrating the mystic and the pastor, the metaphysical and the sacramental, the seeker and the found.
It’s honest, a little raw, and hopefully a healing read for anyone who's ever felt torn between spiritual worlds…
🌲 Something Sacred This Way Comes: A Retreat in Inverness, CA
This week, I shared something close to my heart. My wife, Alex, is leading a soulful two-day retreat this June in one of the most sacred spots I know—St. Columba’s Retreat House, nestled in the redwoods above Tomales Bay.
This isn’t your typical “go fix yourself” retreat. It’s a space to remember who you are. To listen inward. To reclaim the gifts you may have buried under daily life. There’ll be soulful reflection, nature, quiet magic, and home-cooked meals by a Northern California culinary legend (Alex’s mom).
It’s also where I was ordained. Where my spiritual life cracked open in the best way. I’ll be there too—holding space, pouring coffee, maybe offering a contemplative pause or two.
If your spirit’s been whispering lately… this might be the thing it’s trying to tell you…
