Christina:
I am originally from St Louis and grew up with roots in the Greek Orthodox Church. In my young adult years I began exploring faith in other settings, which led me to work in an international humanitarian organization. This opened my eyes to how people experience faith around the world and, in many ways, drew me back to my own childhood faith. I eventually sought out ordination, spiritual direction certification and oblate affiliation. I enjoy introducing people to contemplative practices and advocating for the importance of spiritual health.
My sweet spot in life includes traveling, walking in nature and laughing with my husband and 3 kids.
CHRIS:
I began exploring contemplative spirituality during a challenging season facing infertility and the death of my father-in-law. This journey drew me towards apophatic prayer models & the importance of music/art/nature to engage with God. As I began to experience God in fresh ways, I decided to pursue spiritual direction certification as a way to introduce others to contemplative spirituality in everyday life.
Originally from Texas, I enjoy spicy foods, playing guitar, listening to music and spending time in nature (both solo and with my wife and 3 kids).
