Reverend Lynnea Brinkerhoff (MA, PCC)
Lynnea became an ordained Interfaith Minister in 2005, graduating from the premiere two-year program at One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in New York City. Lynnea has studied to be an "End of Life Doula" to provide emotional and spiritual comfort to the dying.
She was also engaged as a Disaster Chaplain in NYC where she offered pastoral crisis intervention services for the Red Cross mental health division. In addition, she is an ICF certified Executive Coach. No matter what Lynnea is called upon to do, her life’s heart-based work emanates from her most sincere belief in the resilience of the human spirit, a desire to help all in the life long process of releasing what is no longer useful to us, and lighting the torch for the next leg of our journey.
She wishes to offer her unique support to others to fully step into life's transitions with ease and grace. Radical acceptance is her motto.
Kit Pappenheimer
Kit has spent many years deepening her experience with the uncertainty and potential discomfort that many people encounter at the end of their life.
In her formal 2013 training as a caregiver at the Zen Hospice Project (now Zen Caregiving Project ) in San Francisco, she learned the healing nature of deep presence.
Kit is a certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist and offers specific methodology to help move through sometimes stifling grief that we all share.
As a classroom teacher, a school administrator , a trained facilitator of Mindful Movement with Open Floor International, and ICF certified Executive Coach, Kit has refined her sense of patience, compassion and authenticity, but above all the power of presence - the ability to simply be with what is. Especially in these times, with all we are collectively facing, Kit finds her faith grounded in kindness. No matter how challenging these times, there is nothing the balm of kindness can't soothe. Kit knows how to gracefully honor ourselves and one another during times of loss and change. Dance is her principal joy.
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is though nothing is a miracle. The other is a though everything is a miracle”
