About Sharon: Spiritual direction began as a search for deeper purpose in my vocation as wife, mother and musician.  Spiritual direction training offered connection with others who share my desire for deeper purpose and meaning in life.  This desire to connect with others through spiritual direction is a continual invitation to live a full and fruitful life through loving and serving others.

Spiritual Direction: Experienced in working with women in transition, seminary students, and musicians. The Divine is revealed through many and various ways. I enjoy and welcome conversations using dreams, spiritual prayer practices, journaling, art, and music. These are often included in spiritual direction sessions.

Interests: Cooking, gardening, listening to jazz, travelling, enjoying family and friends.  A pianist and organist for most of my life, playing the Celtic harp opens up new possibilities for offering music to others. As a member of the Brandywine Harp Orchestra www.brandywineharps.com, I was privileged to perform in Scotland at the Edinburgh International Harp Festival, April 2009.  

Education: MS degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling with spiritual direction emphasis, Neumann College, Aston, PA; Bachelor degree Music Education, Seton Hill College, Greensburg, PA.

While spiritual direction may include training and education, commitment to a spiritual life both in solitude and community is where spiritual formation begins. Spiritual direction is one source of finding community with another.
