With over two decades of experience as a hospital chaplain, pastoral educator, cognitive behavioral therapist and healthcare administrator, Christine offers "spiritual direction" What is spiritual direction? From Christine: Some of my clients are clergy, others would never set foot in a house of worship. It is not about being religious, or even believing in God. It is about getting in touch with your spiritual side, whatever that looks like for you. You might be well established in a faith tradition or wondering how to bring more mindfulness in your everyday life. Spiritual Direction meets you wherever you are and we go from there! This conversation examines the role of spirituality connection vs religion; the impact of grief throughout our lives; and the interplay of life and death that can positively impact on our quality and understanding of our time here on Earth. This episode is a reminder of the importance of spiritual care, and the connection we all seek.      What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.
