Organizational Transitions & Facilitation

Julia brought to us not only the experience, training, and tools to shepherd our organizational transition, but a passion for the work and the people.

Change is hard and while not everyone rolled easily with the processes and leadership, Julia did a remarkable job of mentoring us all through this transition, including our staff and Board.

I will tell you that the discernment process Jules led our congregation through was one of the most worthwhile, beautiful, and Spirit-filled processes I’ve ever been part of and I’ve been part of a lot of community and church projects.

I have had the privilege of experiencing Rev. Nielsen’s gifts as a preacher, spiritual director, facilitator, and community organizer. Always with an eye toward justice, Rev. Nielsen puts love into action by walking the path of sacred organizing and inspiring others to do the same, toward a vision of communities and neighborhoods where all creation can thrive.

Coaching & Spiritual Direction

“I was skeptical about coaching when I first started. But I decided that even if I didn't know what it was, I would give it a try. And boy, am I glad I did.

Julia served as a trusting companion and guide as we navigated the murky waters of life's purpose together, asking the kinds of questions we all need to be asked as we do so. And that, I have found, is exactly what coaching is.”

— Drew S (he/them)

“Coaching with Julia is like having a door and window opened for you at the same time. You get insight, breaths of fresh air and accompaniment to see for yourself, the next right thing. And she does this, not by telling you what to do, but by asking questions and noticing patterns.

Enneagram

Julia used her vast knowledge of the Enneagram to understand and "get" me, which in turn gave me understanding and compassion for myself. I left my sessions inspired, enlightened and empowered.
