Katherine Murray is passionate about spiritual formation and transformation, and spiritual practices that deepen our awareness of God. Spiritually, she is most at home in the contemplative Christian tradition guided by the commitment to both contemplation and action, and the contemplative values of Silence, Solitude, Simplicity and Service. Katherine loves the mystics, deeply values the Wisdom offered by other faith traditions, and life lived contemplatively.
Katherine is a spiritual director and retreat leader. She is also the Associate Director of the Centre for Spiritual Renewal at St. Dunstan's Parish. She has a background in social work, a graduate degree in International Relations, and completed the SoulGuiding program with Pacific Jubilee. She has also studied theological courses at the Vancouver School of Theology. Time spent in South Africa, Israel, Palestine, and Kenya, and involvement in the Abbotsford Interfaith Movement, have been significant in her spiritual formation and in expanding her awareness of God.
