EDUCATION
​
I have my M.A. in Interfaith Ministry and Spiritual Leadership and I am a PhD candidate in Spiritual Formation at Claremont School of Theology.
​
My studies embrace the spiritual practices of many of the major faith traditions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Jainsim and Hinduism as well as Earth based rite and ritual. I am also a Wilderness Rites-of-Passage guide and trained as a medical Wilderness First Responder.
​
My calling is to work in sacred ceremony, and as a spiritual director for individuals and retreat groups.
​
I am also an activist and author. As an eco-feminist theologian I raise the issue of equality for women among faith traditions and I actively engage to protect this sacred garden we call planet Earth.
I BELIEVE IN A CO-CREATIVE UNIVERSE...
​
A universe where your thoughts, words and actions change the world every moment,
​
No matter who you are or where you are from, no one is excluded. Your prayers ripple into a vision that we create together.
​
You have a specific purpose written in your heart;
a truth that you are called to live, to breathe, to dance, to sing, to be.
​
Taking on your rightful place in creation will empower you, energize you and set you free.
​
Spiritual direction can help you explore your life journey as sacred journey.

Audio Prologue to the book 40 Days and 40 Nights: Searching for God off the Grid
Blog at https://www.godoffthegrid.com/
This book is based on a 40 day and 40 night solo spiritual journey in the Mojave Desert that I completed in August of 2016. I am publishing chapter by chapter online as I write about the experience. I am also releasing a podcast of the chapters.
