All of you is Welcome.
“Like still waters, via feminina gently flows in the cave of the heart, soothing the jagged edges of consciousness.”
Via Feminina is a feminine path of spiritual benevolence.
Women have always been spiritually attuned for leadership and there is no time like now to begin your devotional leadership path as one that walks as pure love.
You’re a spiritual seeker and have been to the ends of fundamentalism and the New Age and still feel drained, disconnected, or unfulfilled in your leadership.
You seek a way back to the holy, slow, reverent, embodied and eternal, but find overwhelm in all the self-help and healing certifications.
What if you could fully grasp who you are, like the rose, and walk in the humble, yet fragrant beauty of who you are in truth—unfurling from the presence of the deepest, transforming Love imaginable…
Join me on the Contemplative Rose Path.
Reclaim your feminine devotion rooted in personalized reconstructed Christianity. The sacred feminine is coming out of her exile from a Christianity that buried her beneath layers of patriarchy, dogma, and historical revision.
The Contemplative Rose Path offers ancient and new spiritual formations rooted in perennial wisdom...
The Divine Feminine has always whispered her truth — in the poetry of Proverbs, the vision of Mary Magdalene, the desert Mothers, and the mysticism of Julian of Norwich and others.
An alternative Christianity honors these lost threads. It doesn’t reject Christ but sees him alongside Sophia, as one who embodied both masculine and feminine divinity.
Whether through reimagining God as Mother, honoring the Womb as sacred, or recognizing Spirit as She, this path brings balance and healing.
Welcome to a Christianity that breathes again.
You are here because you yearn to reclaim lineage.
You are a disciple of Jesus, but question Christianity.
You know God includes the feminine, the mystical, and the embodied?
You want a safe place to bring your “woo” into a deep reservoir of reverent, wisdom tradition.
You desire to be in relationship with a loving divine presence for discernment, guidance and sacred calling.
“You are like many. You are not lost. You are being remade.”
Hello, my name is Lauren, your interfaith spiritual director.
Here’s a little about me…
I am a life long spiritual seeker—a mystic, contemplative, monastic, and watery dreamer. I work as a certified spiritual director, grief companion, ordaining priestess with Feminine Healing Ministries, yoga teacher, and the list goes on (I’ve been at this professionally for nearly 30 years.).
My personal path of spiritual renewal through mid-life transition came after divorce. I was married with three children, one adopted.
Life was on a wild ride which took me out of alignment with the truth of God. A truth I knew so intimately since my early spiritual formation when I began my meditation practice at eleven-years old.
The further I strayed from my authentic self, the more my spirit dimmed, despite all efforts to conform, to push, to meet other’s expectations, I became unknown to myself and even those closest to me.
One thing I know for certain, is that God never gives up on the plan which is laid out for you. It is never too late for healing and renewal.
In spiritual direction we walk the Contemplative Rose Path, a path of wisdom through gnosis or direct experience with the divine. We work on spiritual formation so you can learn to hear and feel divine presence with discernment and intimacy.
We walk together as we rise and fall, into the Mystery and into heart of deep devotion, faith and empowerment.
Here, we come to God on our own terms…
“The divine feminine challenges us to acknowledge and reform oppressive elements in our hearts and in our religions. In order to do this, we must also heal the wounds of the feminine in self, society and in the world”
“While personifications of divinity are crucial to our imaginations and prayer life, it is also true that no identity captures divine infinity.”
~Beverly Lanzetta
“Here in the body are the sacred rivers; here are the sun and moon, as well as all the pilgrimage places. I have not encountered another temple as blissful as my own body”
~ Saraha, Great Adept of the Tantric Buddhism, 9th C
