Welcome to
Seed Deep Abbey
A Sanctuary for Women Becoming Whole in Their Second Half of Life
Seed Deep exists to guide Christian women in the second half of life into a deeper, more authentic walk with God by helping them heal the stories that shaped them, reclaim their God-given “beloved” identity, and rise into the fullness of who they were created to be.
Through contemplative practices, soul work, and compassionate discipleship, we create transformative spaces where women move from confusion, exhaustion and self-doubt into clarity, confidence, and embodied belovedness.
Seed Deep walks with Christian women in the second half of life who are hungry for a deeper, more authentic life with God—women who feel the ache of spiritual disconnection, the weight of old stories, or the desire to finally become who they were created to be. We serve women who are tired of surface-level religion and ready for the kind of intentional inner work that leads to healing, wholeness, and real transformation.
Seed Deep Abbey might be for you if….
You carry father, mother, or relational wounds that have shaped your identity, your relationships, and how you see God—and you’re finally ready to heal them.
You feel stuck in long-standing patterns that keep repeating in marriage, friendships, or family, and you want to break generational and emotional cycles in the second half of your life.
You sense God calling you deeper in this season, but you’re not sure how to respond, or what that kind of spiritual depth actually looks like.
You long for contemplative, embodied, Spirit-led formation instead of performance-driven Christianity or shallow self-help.
Who We Serve
You are navigating mid-life transitions—loss, divorce, retirement, empty nest, aging parents, identity rupture—and need a sacred space to process and rebuild.
You want to reconnect with God in a way that is honest, emotionally grounded, and aligned with who you’re becoming now—not who you were decades ago.
You desire a mature, safe, wise-woman community that makes room for both tenderness and courageous transformation.
Whether through 1:1 direction, group direction, courses, or retreats, Seed Deep offers a sacred place to heal, grow, and rediscover your identity as God’s beloved.
Spiritual Formation
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. - John 12:24
Identity in Christ
At Seed Deep, we believe God does His finest work in the second half of a woman’s life—right in the soil of the story she’s lived, the cracks created by loss, transition, and awakening, and the places where something new is finally ready to take root.
Spiritual formation isn’t a ladder to climb at this stage; it is a deep surrender to the One who restores us from the inside out. After decades of carrying expectations, roles, wounds, and responsibilities, this is the season where a woman finally comes home to herself and to God.
We trust the sacred alchemy of the Spirit and flesh: that when a woman encounters her identity in Christ not just in her mind, but in her body, emotions, nervous system, and lived story, she begins to align with the truth of her belovedness. From this grounded place of identity, her relationship with God, with herself, and with others shifts in ways she once thought were no longer possible.
This is the identity work of the second half of life—deeper, truer, more embodied, and more transformative than ever before.
Sacred Community
We believe no woman heals alone—especially in the second half of life, when decades of story, loss, transition, and resilience have shaped her deeply. Identity is formed in relationship: first within the loving communion of Father, Son, and Spirit, and then within a safe, grounded, mature community.
At Seed Deep, we recognize that many women over 50 carry spiritual wounds, church hurt, or seasons of disconnection from faith communities.
That’s why our spaces are intentionally trauma-informed and emotionally safe.
We move gently.
We listen deeply.
We honor every woman’s story as sacred ground.
Here, you are not asked to perform, minimize your pain, or fit a mold. You are invited to be fully known, fully seen, and slowly restored in the presence of Christ and a community of women on the same second-half journey.
In this kind of community—rooted in Christ, shaped by love, and attuned to the tender places—new life begins to flourish again. This is where deep spiritual formation grows, and where women step into who they are becoming.
