Rev. Nancy Schluntz was ordained as an Interfaith Minister through the Chaplaincy Institute in 2007, with a practicum in Animal Chaplaincy. She subsequently completed a certificate in Spiritual Psychology, based on Jungian theory and the Kabbalah.
Nancy’s primary ministry is with animals and their people, using intuitive animal communication to help animal/human families achieve greater depth in their relationship. She also provides spiritual guidance for people experiencing the deep grief of losing a loved animal companion.
As Nancy says, “Animal voices are all around us. Every creature has a specific purpose and relationship with nature. They are so willing to share their wisdom with us, if we will only stop to listen.”
Nancy is a wildlife education docent and rehabilitation volunteer at Sulphur Creek Nature Center, a program of the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District. In addition, she serves as a co-facilitator of grief support groups for children at Circle of Care (a program of East Bay Agency for Children), helping them to express and move through their grief over the death of a parent. Nancy has a special interest in labyrinths and dreamwork as tools for discerning guidance in life’s journey. Previously, for many years she was Executive Director of a mid-sized, faith-based human services agency providing shelter and support services for homeless families with children.
