Life Direction Counseling

 

“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you.  Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent.” ~ Parker J. Palmer

 

WHAT ARE CLIENTS SAYING?

"I recently took a half day personal retreat with Jennifer in hopes of clarifying my vocational vision, making some key decisions, and getting to a strong, centered place. Through her excellent listening skills, intuition, powerful questions and creative ideas, my expectations were exceeded. Thanks Jennifer, I look forward to continuing to work with you!" ~ Leif 

"I'm so thrilled to return to my art. Jennifer helped me get it out there and I'm so grateful. She provided me a way to visualize my life with beauty, purpose and meaning--for pay! I really feel like I have a sense of belonging. I feel open and excited to learn what is next and, in the mean time, enjoy what is here." ~ AnnMarie

Manlowe has discovered that as clients work on their "personal growth" in vocational and professional matters, they also request ways they might work on their "spiritual" growth. She says, "When you think about it, the term vocation comes from the Latin word vocare ('to call')--and discerning this call feels like a great mystery to most of us."

Because Manlowe has been both student and teacher of "mindfulness meditation," she speaks from the experience of one who values doing whatever it takes to "still the mind" and "listen for inner-wisdom." Manlowe draws from a variety of traditions (as a former professor of world philosophies and religions); "However," she says, "I will never force my personal views onto another person."


If you ask Jennifer about religious issues, she will be most comfortable encouraging you to develop your spirituality in your own way.

"Your profession is not what brings home your paycheck. Your profession is what you were put on earth to do with such passion and such intensity that it becomes spiritual in calling." ~ Vincent Van Gogh

"Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic selfhood... As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks — we will also find our path of authentic service in the world." ~  Parker Palmer
