My husband Bill Consiglio and I live in Poughkeepsie, New York.
I have served the Episcopal church as a parish priest, a children’s priest, a Christian Education consultant, columnist on children's spirituality and as a college (Vassar) and university (Cornell) chaplain. I’ve raised four children who are now grown. I am a grandmother of two.
My interest in mystical theology began at the age of twenty-two when I read the Autobiography of Teresa of Avila. I'm interested in questions about how people "learn" to discern layers of consciousness of the Holy. And I'm particularly fascinated by the unending mystery of prayer itself.
My present work concentrates almost entirely around the climate crisis. How do you pray - how do you respond - how do you act in these times?
