| Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. attributed to St. Francis of Assisi |

 Eunice
Schroeder,
D. Min., is a Lutheran minister’s daughter who
has been coloring outside the lines for a long time – always seeing the
bigger picture: an entire world vibrant with spirituality.
Someone
once defined “religion” as “having to sit still” and “spirituality” as
“getting to move around.” Eunice moves around a lot in her work
with
the ancient walking meditation, the Sacred Labyrinth. It became
her
teacher late in life, along with divorce, mid-life, gay family members
and friends, centering prayer, Qi gong, and the Feminine Divine.
She recently completed 2 Masters degrees (in Interfaith Spiritual Care,
and World Religions) from Marylhurst University where she now teaches.
Her Doctor of Ministry degree focused on the sprituality of the sacred
Labyrinth. Her training in the art of Spiritual Direction is from
Contemplative
Listening
in Portland, OR. She is eager to hear your story, your longings,
prayers, joys and fears. All are rich ingredients for discerning
the Divine’s leading on the sacred journey of life. Eunice
also sees clients at her office in Vancouver, Washington. |

 Oralee
Stiles welcomes individuals and groups for spiritual direction;
helps people create unique ceremonies and personal sacred space; and, officiates

who are exploring, deepening or struggling with their Christian or Jewish
heritage or spirituality outside of religious denominations. While
Oralee grew up in the Protestant tradition, her life experience exposed
her to reverence in many traditions -- Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam, Bali
Hinduism, metaphysics and through her children's passion, to soccer and
Judaism. She participates extensively in her grandchildren's life
in Orthodox Judaism. Her formal training for spiritual direction
began in 1992 with Sister Pat McCrann. She continued with training
in expressive arts, Enneagram, and 2 year programs: the Sacred Art of Dying
and the Art of Spiritual Direction. |
