Hello, I'm Rachel Parsons.

I'm the founder of Fratres Dei Spiritual Direction. I designed the offerings of Fratres Dei to provide a platform upon which people of all spiritual backgrounds may pursue spiritual growth or seek intimacy with the sacred. I hold the conviction that the joy of spiritual curiosity and exploration is the vitalization the world​,​ and I am delighted to create opportunities for my clients to explore in an agenda-free​,​ compassionate space. Since 2014​,​ I have had the honor of traveling with clients into the darkest places of spiritual journey as well as joining in celebration of their greatest joys. I am passionate about creating spaces within which others may freely interact with the sacred by becoming and embracing their essential​,​ authentic selves. I served on the board with Spiritual Direction Colorado and am a member of Spiritual Directors International​,​ The North Denver Soul Care Network​,​ and The Center for Non-Religious Spirituality. I am an interfaith minister at People House Denver and have served as both a hospice and hospital chaplain. I received my Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care*​,​ during which I conducted graduate research centered on the inherently physical nature of human spirituality. I have since designed the practice of Body Discernment​,​ a synthesis of somatic therapeutic practices for spiritual discernment. I have also received formal training in imagination-based meditation methods for addressing issues of self-disintegration. My poetry has been published in Spiritual Direction International's journal​,​ "Listen: A Seeker's Resource for Spiritual Direction". I love hiking and biking the mountains of Colorado and enjoying live music with my partner​,​ Saundra. I can most likely be found playing my guitar or banjo​,​ reading on my balcony​,​ or dancing with everything. I don't currently have any spiritual guidance reviews on this platform​,​ but check out Fratres Dei Spiritual Direction on Google Maps to find some. *While I received my M.A. from Denver Seminary​,​ I do not personally hold the theological or sociological views held by Denver Seminary
