About Shared Tomatoes

Welcome to Shared Tomatoes

A Space for Spiritual Directors Rooted in Story and Community

We are passionate about writing and fostering meaningful connection among Spiritual Directors. Through storytelling, we deepen our practice, strengthen our relationships, continue our formation, and honor the sacred movement of the Spirit in our lives.

Shared Tomatoes was created as a space to nurture this vital part of our journey—through words, reflection, and one another.

🌿 Why Writing Matters

Writing is more than a creative outlet—it’s a spiritual practice. Like journaling, it slows us down, deepens reflection, and reveals the subtle work of the Spirit.

Writing cultivates clarity and attentiveness. It mirrors the rhythm of spiritual direction: patience, presence, and trust in God’s unfolding.

📖 The Power of Storytelling

Storytelling transforms experience into wisdom. It invites mutual support, encourages vulnerability, and strengthens our listening.

When we share our stories, we’re not just telling others who we are—we’re reminding ourselves: you’re not alone.
