Beautifulle was founded and is curated by Leonetta Elaiho. Leonetta is a creative contemplative, a writer, and a public theologian that thrives at the intersection of culture, faith and justice. The arc of her work has always bent towards the margins and her desire for radical inclusion of the typically excluded. An aesthete, she is a big believer in beauty—it's constant presence and invitation to us—even amidst our deepest pains. Her experiences in her own spiritual journey, which has roots in many Christian traditions, sparked her desire to help others grow in their spiritual journeys as well. She has completed numerous training and certification programs including Doula training at Seattle Midwifery School, the SoulFormation Academy of Spiritual Formation and the School of Spiritual Direction, Medicine Woman Way, The Center of Action and Contemplation Living School, Resmaa Menakem's Foundations in Somatic Abolitionism, Huayruro's Restorative Circle Training and more. She serves in numerous community roles and is currently the Chair of the Ignatian Spirituality Center and a founding Trustee of the Reconciliation and Restoration Foundation. She has worked in community development and youth development work for nearly 20 years and has contributed to the field locally, nationally and internationally. She teaches, speaks and leads workshops across her areas of expertise. In addition to offering spiritual care services, Leonetta is also a non-profit and philanthropic consultant.

The Embodiment of Us. Advent is a sacred season of expectant waiting and preparation. It’s the season of celebrating God moving into the neighborhood in the person of Jesus. One of the often overlooked and unexpected miracles of this season is the simple fact that God chose a body. Because when you stop to think about it, why a body and why flesh? Why would the God who created and sustained the entire universe want to subject themselves to the dependency, fragility and vulnerability that comes with living in a body—especially a brown one? The Embodiment of God, The Embodiment of Us: Reflections and Body Practices for Advent is the humble attempt of Kimberly Goode and I to offer a response to this honest inquiry. Its not your typical Advent guide, but it felt like what we needed and we hope it might meet a need of yours, too. Our guiding idea is this: If God honored the body enough to move into one, perhaps we should more fully live into our bodies as well. https://www.beautifulle.com/home1 daily 1.0 2024-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9d50b6650cf2183d23ef43/747a517d-c5a0-4bff-9a67-b63e72746bb9/hands+drawing+v3+d.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9d50b6650cf2183d23ef43/ac1d9caa-3438-42a9-b9e4-b15af2a92384/spiritual+direction+v3+d.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9d50b6650cf2183d23ef43/1606351734154-YDUMG2RGC3PFSOGE159Z/leonetta+v3d.jpg https://www.beautifulle.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2025-02-14 https://www.beautifulle.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cee9df5880cbc000150d93b/1561902574874-0TNHDCEXEFFAEJPP4GP2/fran.jpg About
