Greetings from Seattle, where I live with my husband, Tom, and dog, Bonnie. I am a passionate organic gardener and a contemplative activist, believing that our spiritual formation should interweave through all of life and should equip us to engage in the challenges and struggles of our broken and needy world. I am also executive director of Mustard Seed Associates a small not for profit that helps people think about how the world is changing and how they need to change to be more effective in the future. I conduct seminars and workshops on faith and spirituality, Celtic Christian spirituality and Gardening and Spirituality, encouraging participants to recognize the encounters with God and the gospel story that occur in every aspect of life.
