This special 200th episode of The Teaching Journeys Podcast, hosted by Dave Roberts, features a heartfelt conversation with Reverend Patty Furino and Noemi Beres. The trio reflects on the serendipitous events that brought them together, the power of spiritual connection, and the lessons learned from loss, synchronicity, and community. They discuss the significance of signs, the integration of science and spirituality, the healing power of art and nature, and the importance of walking with integrity. Through personal stories and shared wisdom, the episode celebrates the journey of teaching, learning, and supporting one another, emphasizing that everyone’s experience is valid and that we are all, ultimately, walking each other home.

After completing a two-year program at the New Seminary in New York City she was ordained an Interfaith Minister in June 1998, at St. John the Divine Cathedral.

The goal of her ministry work is to empower others to discover and develop their own unique life paths. Her hope is to inspire a peaceful perspective for people during their challenging times. She feels sometimes people just need someone to bear witness to their stories and offer hope. Spending time with her, most people feel they have found a lifelong friend. She has found great satisfaction inspiring others during their challenging times. She believes she is brought into people's lives through Divine Intervention and views her life as a Sacred Journey.
