Ruah Bull PhD is a spiritual director who supports men and women seeking to deepen 
their relationship with God. She works with ‘holy longing’– the desire for ‘something more’ that calls us into a time of unravelling and exploration, and opening into unfamiliar territory- where the One who has called us out of our comfort zone is waiting. Ruah teaches centering prayer, contemplative practice, and imagery work throughout the Bay Area. Contact Ruah at 707-762-3404 or rbcapaxdei@gmail.com.
