Sacred Discovery is all about remembering who you are…a beloved, divine being on a human journey.

What is Spiritual Wellness?

Spiritual Wellness begins with an uncluttered mind, open heart, and an awareness of the whispered messages of the soul. Nurturing our spiritual self is a necessary act of love, self-care, and healing. When we are grounded in the divine energy that formed our beings, which lives within and surrounds us, we move through life with clarity, purpose, and the courage to live into the fullness of who we are.

Spiritual Wellness is the key to discovering meaning in the messy wilderness of living, and finding joy in being present and awake for your life.

Current workshops and classes Dr. Sharon offers for groups, corporate clients & one-on-one sessions:

Intuitive Imagining Journey - Our imagination is a gateway to endless possibilities. It enables us to transcend our reality, view life with a fresh perspective and nurtures playfulness. All of us have the gift of creativity. Tuning into this awareness and using this beautiful instinctive knowledge can be an act of self-care, meaning making and inner growth. In this workshop participants explore their sacred creative power by connecting to divine wisdom through intuitive imagining writing prompts.

Sacred Mindfulness Journey - Cultivating an authentic connection to the present moment through creativity, grounds us in the sacred beauty of the now, expanding gratitude & joy. On the Sacred Mindfulness Journey, participants will be led in guided meditations using visualization, as well as creative expression to connect deeply to the now and enhance well-being. Participants will explore an expansive and healing space where they connect to the divine energy around us and within.

Soul Light Exploration - Soul Light Exploration is inviting and allowing your soul, Higher Self, and the presence of divine light to speak loving truth to your mind and body. This modality helps you intuitively feel into the beautiful energy of your sacred being. It is a practice that grounds you in clarity, peace, and illuminates a compassionate internal perspective of self.

Sacred Discovery Storytelling - Sacred Discovery Storytelling is a spiritual writing technique and an intuitive activation modality that is an act of co-creation with the divine energy within you. It channels the story your soul and higher self wants to share, so you can rewrite, reimagine, play and heal in the sandbox of possibility.

Dr. Sharon’s backstory & path

In June of 2012, Sharon stumbled into the spiritual world after a life changing visit from the other side of the veil. Sharon immediately knew she was being visited by a divine being that silently shared love, healing and a promise of a new beginning. When this sacred encounter occurred, she was in the middle of grieving an extremely difficult and unwanted ending in her life; the divine visit blessed her with a knowingness that the Source of All is present with us always and in all ways.

As part of her divinely guided healing, Sharon was led to write. She started to reimagine and reinvent her personal story on the page, and in the process she was able to transform her disempowering perception of her life and herself. During this time, Sharon also began her MFA program in Creative Writing at Manhattanville University. In her fiction writing workshop class with Prof. Elizabeth Eslami, Sharon used her story, which was birthed through her healing process, as her thesis project. Another iteration of the story became the manuscript for her first romantic suspense novel No One to Trust. It was later published by Liquid Silver books in 2014.

Delving into this empowering, creative and expansive writing practice once again, she wrote her sci-fi/paranormal romance novel, Renewed by Love, published by Soul Mate Publishing in 2019.

A few years later, this creative process became the catalyst for her modalities of Sacred Discovery Storytelling, Soul Light Exploration and Intuitive Imagining which she fine tuned and explored more deeply in her Master of Divinity thesis and Doctorate of Theology dissertation while at the New Seminary for Interfaith Studies.
