+ Mission

Ordinary Liturgy cultivates contemplative spirituality through offering spiritual guidance and creating original and curated resources. It aims to draw participants into a deeper awareness of divine presence, rooted in Christianity and seeking wisdom and unity across traditions.

+ Vision

Ordinary Liturgy’s offerings are meant to light up the divinity already within through my unique spiritual formation offerings. I hope you find here the companionship you need on this leg of your spiritual journey.

+ Values

Tradition: Ordinary Liturgy holds its foundation in Christianity as sacred and honors it as a source of divinely inspired wisdom. Being grounded in a tradition brings theological depth, a shared story with an ancient community, a common language, and rituals that provide pathways further into the heart of God.

Inclusivity: Ordinary Liturgy's community of readers and spiritual seekers benefits from the diverse background, identity, and perspective every person brings. Whoever you are, whereve you are on your spiritual journey, you are God's beloved and you are welcome here.

Justice: Ordinary Liturgy aims to place those experiencing the greatest injustices at the center of its consciousness. Contemplative practice expands our hearts to include all of creation. This inner transformation must express itself through outward actions on behalf of the world we live in.

Mystery: In essence all of the world's religions and spiritualities are seeking and responding to the same source of love (this concept comes from the Perennial Tradition). God is transcendent and called by many names. Ordinary Liturgy embraces this ambiguity, holds questions with wonder, actively seeks to learn from others, and rests in great unknowing.

+ Anti-Racism

Ordinary Liturgy is committed to furthering the work of anti-racism through: 1) prioritizing BIPOC folx in awarding scholarships for services 2) sharing writings from Black contemplatives, poets, and faith leaders in my newsletter 3) including spiritual practices that draw on indigenous rituals 4) offering original anti-racism resources 5) curating a list of anti-racism books in my shop 6) addressing racism from a heart and body level to support inner transformation.

+ Scholarships

+ Liturgy

Many spiritual traditions have sacred texts that help people pray, articulate beliefs, and enter into worship. These texts are read collectively as well as for individual devotion. In my background, these writings are called liturgies. I believe sacred words don’t have to be limited to religious settings or holy texts. Liturgy can be any of the myriad ways we are led into encounters with divinity.

The Ash Wednesday Cross (made from real palm ashes) represents my vision of creating beauty from ashes through the written word. It rests on every page and seeps into the writings, transforming our experiences into something healed, whole, and life-generating. Read More Below.
