Jessica Sanborn

A number of years ago, Jessica Sanborn traded a too-tight faith and a legal career that never fit quite right for an invitation to live spaciously. In the process, she found myself held in and transformed by deep Love. Jessica delights in finding God in the most surprising places, whether playing with color and images, writing a poem, gardening, reading, or sharing in a deep conversation.

Jessica grew up in the evangelical world, but has now found a home in Ignatian spirituality, which is a way of being in the world that sees and experiences God in all things, is grounded in God’s love, and engages our entire selves as we discover the ways that God is inviting us to show up and love the world we live in.

She completed my spiritual direction training with Sacred Ground Center for Spirituality in St. Paul, Minnesota, and also completed Sacred Ground’s 8-week course for directing the Extended Ignatian Exercises. Jessica also taught in Sacred Ground’s first semester for its spiritual direction and formation program, where we explored contemplative practices, image of God, and spiritual story with fellow seekers.

Jessica lives in Farmington, MN, with her husband and three children.
