The Human Space explores the sacred complexity of being both divinely connected and fully human, through the integrative lens of therapy, psychology, and contemplative spirituality.
Welcome to the journey.
I’m glad you’re here.
Life is strange. Beautiful, yes. But strange.
Here, at The Human Space, we explore what it means to be human - together.
FINITE
Humans are finite creatures ever-seeking the knowledge of the divine, a longing not only to understand why things are the way they are, but also to find meaning in the midst of suffering and mystery.
INFINITE
The Infinite - the Source of all life - draws humanity into relationship, not to dominate but to dwell with us. In this mutual belonging, we find peace not in control, but in trust, presence, and wonder.
THROUGH
Life is a sacred tension between the finite and the infinite. We encounter the Divine not in spite of our fragile bodies and tender emotions, but through them - in the very heart of our human experience.
So this, right here, is The Human Space.
It’s a place of discovery, of learning what it means to be humans created by the Divine living in a broken and beautiful world.
Together we’ll explore, putting words to existence that will inevitably fall short. But they’ll be meaningful anyhow, because that’s what life is.
I held the hand of my first home, the other day.
My fingers danced over hers, massaging lotion around and over her slightly arthritic knuckles. I noticed how their knobbiness was reminiscent of my grandmother’s hands. Hands I once held, too. The grief for my grandmother can arise in such small ways, sometimes.
I hiked through and traversed the well-worn map of veins on the back of her hand, mindful of how they once carried blood throughout her body to nourish mine growing within her. I massaged her palms, and considered how they once rested on the belly I inhabited. As my hands intertwined with my mother’s, I thought about how the first place I lived was her.
