Welcome to A Spiral Space
This is a bi-weekly newsletter focused on contemplative practice. Think of it as a bit of digital Spiritual Direction, or what I like to call “therapy for your God baggage.”
What are the sacred stories and how do they get distorted by the stories we tell ourselves?
And how do our answers drive us towards the action to love better?
I’m Kelley..
This newsletter has been a bunch of things over the last year or so, but what it seems to be settling into is two distinct parts: a podcast on spiritual practice that includes discussions on types of prayer and guided meditations, usually based on a theme; and a written companion piece that goes deeper into my personal stories and struggles around faith and points to places to find the holy in the ordinary moments of our days.

My heart is with those who feel outside any traditional religious setting and yet long for a connectedness to a deep spiritual life. My faith tradition is rooted in the teachings of Jesus that inspire me towards a loving and just world where we take care of and make space for everyone in radically generous ways.
Areas of interest include:
* Deconstruction/Reconstruction of faith journeys
