More About Shaleen...

She is the co-founder of Desert Voices, driving force, and the anchor of our team as our work and contributors continue to evolve and grow.

I am drawn to all things wild, free, majestic, and mysterious.

I have an unquenchable love for humankind and aim to live in alignment with Divine Goodness.

I am on a spiritual quest with a curious mind. 

I am reassembling my faith in all three of my centers of intelligence: academic (head center of intelligence), emotional (heart center of intelligence), somatic (gut/body center of intelligence)

I walk in desert spirituality and have found my voice…a voice I am not afraid to use. A voice I’d like to be both kind and challenging to the status quo.

I resource others through connections with places and people that water our souls.

I see the Holy Spirit of God in every human being.

I do not have my “ish” all together, nor do I pretend to.

My core guiding values are curiosity, synchronicity, and equity.

I am a communication specialist, ordained minister, and hold professional certifications in Interfaith Spiritual Direction, Enneagram Training, iEQ9 Assessments, Life Coaching, and Executive Coaching. I facilitate learning and have over 20 years of experience in public speaking.

Academically, I am a Doctoral Candidate in Open and Relational Theology focused on how spiritual narratives impact and shape interpersonal and organizational communication and culture. I currently hold a Master of Divinity and have accumulated over 120 hours of graduate hours.

I seek to cultivate grounded integrative living.

I dance big, live big, and invite you to bring your unique power and style to the dance floor of life.

“Love is the most powerful force or energy in the universe. That power is multiplied in relationships…In a true relationship, no one’s individuality is lost. It is increased. That is the beauty of connections.” – Louis Savary
