I have offered spiritual direction for over twenty years. I received my training through the Spiritual Life Center in Connecticut and practiced for many years at the Annand Center at Yale.  I am a Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA).  After living in New England for many years, I retired and moved back to my farm in North Carolina, where I care for my family along with five chickens, six goats, three cats, a horse, and a dog – and about 30,000 bees in my small apiary.  We live close to the land in a house that my great-grandfather built over 130 years ago.
