Richard Rohr is one of our generation’s most prominent spiritual voices - a globally recognized Franciscan friar and ecumenical teacher whose work bears witness to the deep wisdom of Christian mysticism. He is the founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, an educational nonprofit that introduces spiritual seekers to the Christian contemplative path of transformation. He is the author of many books, including the New York Times bestseller The Universal Christ, Falling Upward, and Breathing Under Water. His latest book The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage, is a hopeful, wholehearted model for living with compassion in a time of conflict and anxiety.

Father Rohr’s work has been featured on Oprah’s SuperSoul Sunday, Krista Tippett’s On Being, and in The New Yorker and Harper’s Magazine.

John W. Price, PhD, is the host of The Sacred Speaks, a podcast approaching one million downloads, featuring conversations on psyche, soul, and the sacred. He and his wife Leila-Scott co-founded The Center for Healing Arts and Sciences. John is a psychotherapist with a doctorate in Jungian psychology, a contributor to the Esalen Institute, and President of the Board at The Jung Center.

With her husband Rudy, Juanita Rasmus served as co-founder and co-pastor of St. John’s Church in Downtown Houston. Passionate about reaching the world’s most challenged communities, Juanita and Rudy founded Bread of Life, Inc., to address inequities impacting individuals and families in Houston. Juanita is a certified spiritual director and author of Learning to Be: Finding Your Center After the Bottom Falls Out.

Through his private practice as a counselor and certified spiritual director, Bill Kerley teaches “spiritual solutions to life’s dilemmas.” He has been on the clergy staff of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church for decades and holds advanced degrees in both theology and psychology. Bill is an ordained minister and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an orientation in Jungian psychology.
