Seattle, WA
I work as a hospice chaplain, have a Masters degree in Spirituality from Naropa/UCS, and am a certified thanatologist. I have practiced meditation and dream work for many years.
Cultivating an interfaith spirituality has been transformative and true joy. No one I meet is a stranger. I welcome them as family, each on their own spiritual journey. I know there’s only One Mountain, with many paths. God walks all of them.
I am deeply grateful to my partner Nancy. Without her support, my ordination would still be just a daydream. I cherish our three adult children, Heather, Michael and Jennifer, each a joy and a blessing.
I honor and thank my mother, Berniece Falling Leaves, who taught me a great deal about ceremony, ritual, and the workings of Spirit.
My other spiritual influences and teachers are many and varied. I thank them all. I am especially grateful for my teachers and friends at the Chaplaincy Institute. You are indeed catalysts for change and reasons to hope.
