Peter comes to spiritual direction with a background in outdoor ministry and soul care. He is a graduate of the Soul Care Institute and is currently a spiritual direction apprentice with Anam Cara. He finds joy in creating space for others to slow down and rest in the love of God, to take notice of the beauty all around and within, and to listen for the still small voice that calls us the beloved. He has been on an arduous journey through anxiety, fear of rejection, and self-doubt, a journey that has led him to embrace his role as poet, retreat facilitator, gardener, and spiritual friend. Peter lives in Asheville, NC, with his wife, Becca, and their three kids, Londyn, Owen, and Miles.
