About Stacey


Discovery

I first encountered Spiritual Direction and the Enneagram in 2011, and both of these very quickly became great sources of insight and personal growth in my life. Spiritual Direction helped me to notice, understand, and join with the movings of God's Spirit in my life. The Enneagram helped put words to some of the deepest and most driving aspects of who I was, as well as bring clarity and understanding to many of my relationships. I longed to share the beauty of what I had received with others!

Spiritual Formation

I graduated from Denver Seminary with a MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in May 2014, and have been offering Spiritual Direction and teaching on a variety of Spiritual Formation topics ever since. I am passionate about helping others navigate the complexities of the spiritual journey and grow in communion with God through a variety of prayer practices. I currently direct Denver Seminary's Certificate in Spiritual Direction, teaching and training new Spiritual Directors.

Enneagram

I first trained under Enneagram expert, Dr. Jerome Wagner, getting a certification in Enneagram workshop teaching in 2015. Since then I’ve led numerous workshops and classes, teaching corporate teams and non-profit groups the Enneagram, in order that individuals might gain language and insight for themselves and teams might function with greater respect and understanding for one another. In 2018, I began study under Enneagram subtype experts, Beatrice Chestnut and Uranio Paes—culminating in certification as an Enneagram Professional through their Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy. I have been serving as an Enneagram Coach for individuals and teams since April 2019, when I launched Oh, to See!

Mission

Vision

M

Simply put, my mission is about seeing. Too often, we have a limited view of ourselves, our relationships, and God in our lives. Through Enneagram Coaching and Spiritual Direction, I aim to help others gain insight that allows them to live more intentionally, both individually and with those around them.

Karl Barth once said, “The ultimate aim of our personality is that it can become a gift and not a lord; a servant and not a master.” My vision is to see more people making informed, empowered choices about how they show up in the world, rather than simply continuing in the patterns their younger selves developed in order to survive.

What are people saying?

“Whether as a spiritual director, teacher, or Enneagram coach, Stacey embodies the wisdom she shares. The fullness of her life with God overflows to meet the thirst of those she serves in kind, beautiful, and powerful ways.”

Howard Baker, Assistant Professor of Christian Formation, Denver Seminary

“Stacey is passionate about helping other people achieve their potential. Although she is very knowledgeable about the Enneagram, she continues to learn more from the other masters in her field. Her teaching and coaching style is gentle, inviting and supportive. Her deep experience in the nonprofit world brings a unique and refreshing perspective to the business world. I connected Stacey with other professionals for 1-on-1 coaching. All of them have enjoyed working with Stacey. For the ones who are willing to go deeper into personal growth with Stacey as their coach, all of them have experienced a deeper understanding of themselves and those close to them at work and/or at home. If you want to know yourself in a deeper way, hire Stacey.”

Iky Chan, Leadership Coach & former Director at Seagate Technology

"I have had the privilege of working with and learning from Stacey in a variety of contexts over many years. Stacey is an experienced teacher, guide, speaker, and spiritual director. She is gifted in many roles but the relentless core of her mission is always the same: to help you see and know deeper truth about yourself and God. Her curiosity, wisdom, and insight call you to the frontiers of your understanding while gently holding space for you to safely explore new realms. Stacey embodies curiosity, kindness, and wisdom in all that she does—it is a true gift to encounter her care and guidance."

Becky Young, Therapist & Spiritual Director

“Stacey served our community by leading the Soul Care portion of our monthly staff meetings. Her warmth and calm demeanor allowed us to really stop and reflect on the Lord’s presence in the midst of our busy work. I receive numerous compliments about the value of the time that Stacey led for us and how it impacted them to value their work and efforts. I highly recommend Stacey as she can quickly develop deep relationships with people and cause them to know the Lord more deeply even in brief encounters. Thanks Stacey!”

Wendi Gowing, Director of Human Resources, Denver Seminary

“Stacey leads with compassion and competence. Her presence is spacious, giving others room to more courageously stand in the fullness of their story and soul.”

KJ Ramsey, Therapist & Author of This Too Shall Last

"Stacey Cooper and I have been friends for nearly a decade. Through these years, Stacey has grown into a woman of grace and a woman who extends that grace abundantly to others, as she leads and directs. Whether it’s through Spiritual Direction, Enneagram Coaching, personal formation and development, or friendship, grace is the pervading atmosphere in which she lives and works. I highly recommend Stacey and encourage you to invite her to journey with you in whatever capacity you need."

Debbie Swanson, Spiritual Director & Adjunct Professor of Christian Formation, Denver Seminary
