About This Ministry

It encompasses a private practice serving individuals, couples, families, seminarians and clergy - appointments in person and by phone/Skype - and an outreach ministry available to Unitarian Universalist congregations, districts, ministerial chapters and affiliates, as well as to interfaith groups and service-oriented organizations. A special emphasis is on the needs of business and professional women.

Rev. Cat is an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister whose interfaith ministry of spiritual direction explores best practices for
spiritually grounded growth and development both individually and in community - particularly in the realms of mission and vision,
covenant making and conflict resolution.

Rev. Cat leads discussion forums, retreats, classes, workshops and worship services nationwide aimed towards the development
of vibrant, functional, visionary communities and organizations facing up to the challenges of this world and this age and seeking
to define and embody their potential more fully.

 

Theology of Joy

The Path of Joy begins with this recognition: Spirit only gives gifts.

The gifts of Spirit are offered in every moment without exception. These gifts are the manifestation of the state of Grace in which we constantly live and move and have our being.

Earning has nothing to do with Grace.

Whether we know it, accept it or ever open to receiving it, the river of Love flows from our oneness with Being itself.  This river is unceasingly pouring itself over and through us, offering us moment to moment guidance aimed at keeping us in alignment with the deepest truths of the our essential nature in order to fulfill our core human purpose of experiencing the soul’s greatest fulfillment in this lifetime.

There is nothing we or anyone can do to stop this flow of Love in our direction. However, opening to experiencing this flow has everything to do with the quality of our experience of being alive!
