Contemplative Teaching

Alongside my work in spiritual direction and retreat facilitation, since 2008 I’ve been teaching at St. Stephen’s University (SSU), NB, Canada – a small university that values community, experiential learning, travel study, and respect for deep questions of justice, identity, spirituality, and purpose. Having taught in the undergraduate program for many years – mostly courses related to language, culture, spirituality, and study abroad – I now facilitate the Contemplative Spiritual Formation element of the Theology and Culture graduate program at SSU. This program draws diverse, generous-hearted people who are hungry to learn and grow together, and it’s a joy to journey with them.

I also enjoy offering the kind of teaching that happens in a talk or homily/sermon. I’m grateful to have been a part of the Leadership Collective of St. Croix Church (with whom I remain vitally connected) from 2022 to 2025, and to have regularly had the opportunity to give talks on Sunday morning. A few of these are linked below.
