Find a Focusing Professional - Anne Lawrence

A graduate of Richard Rohr's Living School, I am a long-term practitioner of contemplative spirituality. Through my private practice, The Soul Companion, LLC, I have cultivated a sacred space for spiritual transformation that highlights play, possibility, artistic expression, and emotional authenticity. I companion seekers on their creative pathways to deepening spirituality. I support individuals and groups in exploring the meaningful depths of their life experiences. I also design and guide workshops and retreats, enabling participants to access their inner wisdom through transformative practices with nature and the expressive arts. In addition to focusing, I am certified to offer individual and group dreamwork, SoulCollage®, spiritual direction, and guided labyrinth walks. Currently, I am a doctoral student in Christian spirituality at Virginia Theological Seminary, an Episcopal seminary. My research focuses on creative practices that support holistic spirituality, including imaginative prayer, artistic expression, and reverential experiences with nature. I also have a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Writing and have worked as a writing professor and a coach. In my workshops and retreats, I offer reflective writing activities that help participants to explore their life experiences and to deepen their spirituality.
