I’m Tracy Rittmueller
Care-partner to a spouse living with memory loss
Associate Member of Saint Benedict’s Monastery
Founder of the Slippery Joy community
Since the early 1990’s, I’ve been writing poems and stories for readers’ nourishment, encouragement, and solace.
In 2018, I began facilitating contemplative, creative self-expression classes with growing awareness of the factors that can support or hinder authentic connection to our inner wisdom, others, nature, and a meaningful way of life.
Connect to your inner wisdom— express your truth, feel cherished, and self-determine what matters to you.
Through mentoring and group facilitation, I work with people who want to experience meaning, joy, and sacred connection while living with irretrievable losses.
No one-size-fits-all prescriptions here!
My services and our community may work especially well for you,
because everything is designed to meet your needs, if:
You love good books AND you need some solitude
You crave authentic friendships
Compassion and kindness are important to you
You may or may not be religious—either way, spirituality matters
You see inter-spiritual encounters as a way to deepen our collective wisdom
“Participating in Tracy’s Unfurling at the Speed of Trust cohort felt like coming home. A safe nurturing creative environment. Not only did my focus and work steadily improve, but in this collaborative environment I felt valued and heard. Her work has restored my faith in humanity!”
If so, our community can support you in bringing more meaning, joy, and sacred connection into your daily life.
Let’s start building your trust and confidence in your gifts!
Does this sound like your kind of place?
Still Life, Broken and Repaired
“… a shout out to the universe about persistence…love and beauty.”
—Christine Klocek-Lim
For those struggling to make sense of the accumulating losses associated with aging and caregiving, here is beauty and hope that will empower you to move toward understanding and acceptance, with profound love.
“These poems delve to the very deepest levels of loss and grief, yet still contain glimmers of healing light and renewal.”
—Bill Meissner
