Dear Mighty Companions & Beloved Community,

I am reaching out to you with a deep sense of gratitude and a humble request as I answer a calling to expand my spiritual ministry. For years, my life’s work has been devoted to the remembrance of Love, the practice of nonduality, and the living application of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), supporting others in releasing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence.

Many of you know me through my work at The Monastery , a place that is so very dear to my heart. The Monastery has provided the space for my training in therapeutic counselling and my development as a Level 3 Certified IFS therapist. It is also where, for past years and continuing today, I co-facilitate the Circles of Peace gatherings alongside wonderful interfaith ministers who introduced me to the OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation.

The Calling to Root Deeper in Interfaith Ministry

The Monastery has a rich and unwavering interfaith tradition. It welcomes people of all faiths and none to free services, quiet contemplation and community gatherings. This tradition was beautifully nurtured by our wonderful teacher, Rev Fay Barratt , who delivered an in-person Interfaith Foundation training right here at The Monastery between 2008–2010.
Now, I feel called to walk this same path closer to home and step into formal Interfaith Minister training with OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation.

This training will allow me to:

  • Expand my ministry at The Monastery and beyond alongside existing interfaith ministers.
  • Bridge psychological and spiritual healing, combining ACIM, nonduality and IFS to serve our community at a deeper level.
  • Continue to offer inclusive, sacred gatherings and pastoral care to people of all beliefs, backgrounds and walks of life.

How You Can Support

To embark on this 2-year ordained training journey, I am seeking to raise funds to cover the tuition costs of £7,214.

Donate: Any contribution (no matter the size) directly supports this step of service and helps me remain fully focused on this sacred work.

Share: Simply sharing this campaign with your friends, circles, or spiritual community extends the reach and power of this request.

"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love." — ACIM

Your support is not just an investment in my training; it is a seed planted directly back into the community services, peaceful circles and spiritual sanctuary we share together at The Monastery and beyond. We are wounded in relationship and we heal in relationship. Our healing is collective.

Thank you for your love and your willingness to walk this path with me as a Mighty Companion.

With love, light and deep appreciation.
