"Working with Jean as a spiritual director has been life-changing. She is both a loving presence and a challenging teacher, urging me to stay awake to the deeper aspects of my life journey. She brings an incredibly rich knowledge of spiritual and religious thinkers and uses their work to inform our discussions, always ready with a suggestion for a book to read, a meditation to try or a prayer to invoke. But more than anything, she has been a wonderful, wise companion who shares her own deep commitment to living a deeply conscious life." — Deb L
