A calm, attentive space to notice God's presence in everyday life.

Selah is a space that fosters community and growth through scripture and contemplative practices designed to transform our interior selves so that we may experience a life of contentedness and connection with the world around us.

Selah is a Hebrew word that unfortunately lacks a perfect English translation. However, in the scriptures it indicates a pause. For example, as you read Psalm 89 you will notice the word “selah” at the end. This is an invitation to the reader to take a moment and pause, reflect and consider the text. When we do this the text comes to rest in us more deeply and our response to it may be more thoughtful and intentional.

God invites us to rest, it’s even in the commandments to honor the sabbath. But we must also consider the context and world in which we live. Speed, hustle, move quickly and making effort to produce seem to be the values that are admired and perhaps sought after. But there are some of us who need to recharge before entering this pace.

That’s why Selah exists. To give you a space to pause, ponder, consider, reflect and THEN respond-to God, and the world around you.

Consider Selah to be a part of your spiritual journey or perhaps a pilgrimage. Consider me a sojourner with you.

As a trained spiritual director and former pastor I have witnessed the tension many of us live in-and don’t have words for when our bodies are trying to resist one thing in exchange for something else.

Selah is here to support you as you take the rest you need, through spiritual direction, contemplative practices, and retreats I encourage you to accept the invitation to embrace a rhythm of rest with Selah Community.
