Biography

I am part of a web of writers, editors, videographers, communicators, and ambassadors who help shine a light on how we can all contribute to a loving world. For me this comes through in three simple words: reveal, serve, and inspire. It means researching, listening, sleuthing, writing, connecting, and conspiring for good. 

Our teachers in this work are numerous. I have learned so much from others' fine "translations" of the need for love in our world--epidemiologists, neuroscientists, and public health specialists, artists, clergy, and various lifelong practitioners of compassion--who carry this work into realms of our social life like schools, prisons, and law enforcement circles.

My background is deep in the humanities, and my family tree is of full Catholics (faithful and lapsed), skeptics, and librarians. I have a master's degree in literature and am drawn to volunteer with arts-related organizations and projects.

Mysticism is, simply, an experience of God. Not a theory or concept – but a lived sense of the Divine Presence that unites all of creation. Mirabai Starr writes, speaks and leads retreats on the inter-spiritual teachings of the mystics from many traditions and enables you explore how their wisdom and insights can help you to clarify and honor your own Holy Longing.

This day will draw on the works of the great Christian mystics, John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, Francis and Clare of Assisi, and Hildegard of Bingen, as well as Sufi Saint Rabia, Hindu poet, Mirabai, and others to explore their love-encounters with the Divine.

Registration is $95, when received by September 20; $105 thereafter.

Includes materials, facilitation, morning coffee and lunch.

Please register by October 4.

Payment in full is due prior to arrival.
