I first heard about spiritual direction while taking a seminary class with Jeannette Bakke as the professor. I was stunned by what I heard. I could sense that this was a place of belonging for my soul. The next year I enrolled in the Tending the Holy program at Christos. After several years of volunteering and participating in events, it was a privilege and joy to join the Christos team as a Facilitator, and then later as a Presenter and Coordinator for the Tending the Holy program.  Accepting an invitation to be on the Board was a further honor. My heart and soul indeed have found a welcome place at Christos. It is my desire to extend that welcome to all who come through its doors, that they too may experience the goodness of God.
