Vanessa Sadler

Facilitator

As a trauma-informed Spiritual Director and Enneagram practitioner, Vanessa approaches client sessions with the understanding that our styles of relating with God, self and others were not formed in a vacuum. Our formative years and stories deeply shape who we are today and are worth exploring with curiosity and compassion. 

In addition to facilitating story groups and meeting with clients 1:1 at Abide, Vanessa is also a regular contributor at Red Tent Living where she shares essays, spiritual practices, and spoken word poetry. She recently became the co-host of Peace Talks, a podcast at the intersection of contemplative spiritual formation and racial justice. Peace Talks is a production of The Center for Formation, Justice, and Peace.

Vanessa considers it a sacred honor to come alongside people as they reclaim parts of themselves that have been buried or lost to the effects of trauma.
