Secret Garden Practices

Welcome, welcome, welcome. I’m Sylvia Sepulveda. I offer spiritual direction/companionship, dreamwork, and contemplative community both online and from my home on beautiful Bainbridge Island in Washington State.

Born and raised in the Los Angeles, California area, I’m a longtime practitioner, organizer, and facilitator of contemplative group practices such as Centering and Welcoming Prayer, Dreamwork, Contemplative Creativity, and Mindful Poetry, most recently for the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia, WA. Find resources from the ECWW programs here.

I’m a graduate of both the Dreamwork and Spiritual Direction programs at the Haden Institute, Education for Ministry (EfM,) the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and certified as a Catechist in levels 1-3 of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd children’s formation program. I’m a Veriditas-trained Labyrinth Facilitator and have mentored ten students through the Spiritual Direction program at Haden Institute. I also serve as a board member at Underhill House.

Organizing and facilitating group contemplative and dreamwork practices and offering spiritual companionship/direction supports my own individuation. I’m so grateful for all who join me in these group or one-to-one practices – the engaged participation is nourishing all around. All are welcome.
