Joy Beless
In a season of deep pain, trauma, and loss, God used spiritual direction to speak peace and clarity into my faith journey. Trained in the contemplative Selah program, I offer trauma-informed spiritual direction through in person or virtual sessions, guided retreats or teaming with NGO's in global retreats for member-care. A part of the Mosaic Formation Network, special interests of mine are leading worship and companioning others in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. After living in Asia with my family, I now reside in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
