Faith, Nature &
Creative Wonder

This is a place for the seeker, the wanderer, and the one who believes that peace can be found in a world of mystery.

Spiritus Creative is a ministry dedicated to exploring faith, nature, and art as paths to a deeper connection with the divine. Here, we believe that the creative spirit of God is alive in all of creation, waiting to be found in a quiet word, a powerful image, or a gentle walk in the woods.

The Heart of This Work

Sacred Stillness

Embracing the quiet places where God’s presence can be felt — in forests, in breath, in the unspoken moments of the day.

Creative Devotion

Through writing, photography, & reflection, creativity becomes a way to witness and honor the sacred in everyday life.

Earth-Kept Faith

A spiritual path rooted in both scripture and soil — where love for the Creator is expressed in care for creation.

Walk with Me

A Path to Peace in Nature

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel disconnected and overwhelmed. I believe that a profound and restorative peace is waiting for us in the woods, and my passion is to help you find it. This is not just a walk in the park; it’s an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect with yourself and the divine.

My Approach to Guiding

My approach to guiding is shaped by a unique blend of scientific and spiritual understanding:

Explore Forest Guiding
Scientifically Rooted

My degree in Botany and Master Gardener certification give me a deep, practical understanding of the plant world, which enriches every experience.

Spiritually Grounded

As an ordained pastor, trained Eco-Preacher and an Earth Keeper within the United Methodist Church, I offer a gentle, spiritual framework for our time together, creating a space for reflection and connection.

Experienced Facilitator

I have been trained to lead “Wild Church,” a practice of worship and communion in the outdoors, preparing me to guide groups of all ages.

Finding the Sacred in the Frame

My photography is a form of prayer and an extension of my spiritual journey. Each image is a captured moment of connection with the divine, a reflection of the peace and beauty found in the natural world.
