About Tricia
My family life growing up, Catholic grade school, six years in religious community as a Franciscan Sister of Little Falls, MN, dear friendships, my own wedding at age 52, the death of my Mother in 1988, Dad in 1996, and oldest brother in 2010 are a few of the profound experiences that have shaped my sense of spirituality, life, love, relationships, work and world.
Paying attention to what has heart and meaning has been a passion for me since I was young. And though my Catholic upbringing was valuable during those early years, I am so grateful for the ‘breadth of vision’ and ‘depth of heart’ that people, experiences and education have been for me in my adult life. There was a time when I equated ‘holiness’ with ‘church only.’ It took many years before I realized that holiness lies within, and around us, and that churches can be (but aren’t always) a source of inspiration. Many people, whether or not they go to church, value sharing prayer and/or meaningful rituals with those they care about. My doctoral studies in Creation Spirituality, which I completed in 2001, beautifully affirmed the presence and power of all that is holy and my desire to keep learning, and keep sharing with others.
For more than twenty years I have been actively involved in sharing prayer and ritual with individuals, families, church communities of various denominations, and organizations. Whether meeting with someone one-on-one for Life Coaching, performing ‘interpretive dance’ at a church or a women’s conference, or presiding at a memorial service, the sharing of such sacred time with others is always a blessing.
It is an honor and a joy for me to share life and facilitate life with people in these ways. As the poet Rumi writes: “…there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
