My Journey and yours…Where are you in your journey? I am glad that your search has brought you here
I am a counsellor in Existential Wellness, at present working between Europe, East Asia and the US. As a background I have a Doctorate in Ministry focusing on reconciliation and the arts as well as Masters Degrees in Counselling, Spirituality and Political Science.
Spiritual Direction, formed by the Jesuit practice of Ignatian Spirituality, is very much part of my daily work. Add to it curation in reconciliatory arts and kinetic practices of core building. To save our churches from becoming museums and promoting art as a place of sacred encounter, I work at the meeting point of the secular and spiritual experience. In our work together we build the temple within so that we can find full expression of your creative capacity
We are all on a journey. Our stories are sacred, and never free of pain, which transforms us. A few years ago I had the chance to live and work in Pyongyang, North Korea, for the UN Development Program (UNDP) as a crisis counsellor for the international community. This was a life changing experience, shaping my ideas about brokenness, diaspora, and the gift of interior freedom and divine Hope that can never be taken away from us.
I am Italian-American, an immigrant to Sweden and the daughter of immigrant generations who left Italy in search of a better life, which they gave to me, and I share with you.
