Kathi feels privileged to bring two of her greatest passions together: teaching and spiritual formation. Her greatest joy is walking alongside others in their own spiritual journey, sharing ways of understanding God anew through contemplative prayer and teaching, and to see them grow in the depth of their own understanding of who God is and who they are in relationship with God.
Kathi lives in Newberg, Oregon close to one of her daughters and family, including two grandchildren. Her other daughter and family live down in California where she gets to visit often to see her other three grandchildren. So much fun! Kathi enjoys learning, writing, walking in nature, and having leisurely conversations with people over coffee. Kathi is a certified spiritual director and supervisor, writer, spiritual formation group facilitator, retreat speaker, leadership mentor, and adjunct professor with George Fox University. One of her favorite things is walking alongside individuals and groups, while witnessing the beauty of God bringing forth a depth of vulnerability, both individually and communally. If this is something that is interesting to you, please check out her study series: Being Boldly Loved and Loving Boldly. TrainingKathi has completed a certificate in spiritual direction from Portland Seminary and supervision training with Together in Mystery. She has completed an M.Ed. from George Fox University, a M.A. in Spiritual Formation from Portland Seminary, and is currently pursuing a DMin in Leadership and Spiritual Formation.

Schedule: Direction meetings are usually spread out with three weeks to a month in between to allow for processing on the journey.
