Bill Hobbs

Bill Hobbs

Bill Hobbs, EdD is a spiritual seeker and follower of The Way.  Steeped in Ignatian Spirituality, today he finds himself most at home in the silence of contemplative practice.  After three decades of work in schools and education, he answered the invitation to accompany others in their spiritual lives and journeys.  That led Bill to the Haden Institute’s Spiritual Direction Program, from which he graduated in January 2020.  He currently serves as Director of the Jesuit Retreat Center and as an adjunct faculty member at John Carroll University in Cleveland.  He has a doctorate in Spirituality and Leadership and is an MBTI Master Practitioner and as well as an Enneagram teacher.  Bill finds meaning in working with others at the intersection of personality and spirituality.  A student/devotee of Parker Palmer, Jan Richardson, and Carrie Newcomer, he believes that our journey is to move inward and downward so that we may live our lives upward and outward.  During his time in education, Bill focused on finding answers; now he acknowledges that the questions are far more important (and interesting).  He works with individuals and groups in vision, direction, and consulting through thesaunteringway.com. A native of southern New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia, Bill carries his Philly accent with him wherever he goes.

Chris Bache

Chris Bache

How does a boy raised in the Deep South who became a professor of religious studies come to write a book about his 20-year journey with LSD? Raised in the Deep South, Chris attended the University of Notre Dame, eventually majoring in religious studies with a focus on New Testament studies. He read Carl Jung and Mahatma Gandhi, both of whom made a deep impression on him. Against the backdrop of Vietnam, he became a conscientious objector. By the time he graduated from college, he had left Catholicism.

At Cambridge, his passion became the search for the historical Jesus. He learned the art of peeling away history with form criticism, redaction criticism, and textual criticism. The historical Jesus became his way out of Christianity, as in Jesus he found a depth of spiritual realization that was larger than Christianity.

At Brown University he studied the broad contours of Western religious thought, following Christian and Jewish theology through the great minds of the Middle Ages into the fateful encounter with the Age of Enlightenment. He absorbed the philosophical revolutions of the modern mind and finished graduate school a deeply convinced agnostic.

At Youngstown State University he encountered the work of Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia (reincarnation research) and Stanislav Grof. He quickly saw that Grof’s work represented a turning point not only in psychology but philosophy of religion, as it allowed one to explore the deep structure of consciousness and experientially probe questions that philosophers had pondered for centuries. Thus began the work that would define the rest of his life. 

At the California Institute of Integral Studies Chris served as adjunct faculty in the Department of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness, teaching graduate students eager for the psychedelic conversation. Chris feels his psychedelic work was so central to his incarnation that everything in his life was calibrated to bring it into being. Much like James Hillman.

Chris is the author of four books: LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven (2019), The Living Classroom: Teaching and Collective Consciousness (2008), Dark Night, Early Dawn: Step to an Ecology of Mind (2000), and Lifecycles: Reincarnation and the Web of Life (1990).

Chris lives in in Weaverville, NC with his wife, Christina Hardy, who is a professional astrologer and past life therapist. Chris’ website is chrisbache.com.

Christy Austin

Christy Austin

Christy Austin is a certified spiritual director and dreamwork facilitator who spent a lot of time as a child getting in trouble for asking too many questions.  Fortunately, since her first time at a Haden intensive, she has realized that questions are a beautiful and useful means to make sense of a desire for union and wholeness.  Having been a student in the Dreamwork program at the height of the pandemic, Christy understands the unique challenges and blessings of Zoom learning. She strives to bring to that space the energy of connection, while also encouraging each student to tap into their own unique expressions of creativity and growth. Christy leads students to explore creativity as a spiritual practice and a means to dive deep, as they travel their own path through the Haden Institute’s Training programs. She takes joy seeing a student expressing their own soul in unique and beautiful ways. Students will often hear “You can’t do this wrong!”  Christy truly believes that “I am not an artist” is a phrase that should be deleted from everyone’s vocabulary and loves to see people face their own fears and shame surrounding creativity, realizing as they give outward expression to their inner landscape that they are indeed an artist. When not online with students or with directees in her personal office at home, you will find her with her husband Shawn, her grown children, numerous grandchildren, outside with her pets, watching her garden grow, or listening with the trees she loves. Christy currently serves as an Administrative Assistant and is the Director of Virtual Creative Embodiment for the Haden Institute.

Daniel Renaud

Daniel Renaud

Daniel Renaud, OMI (he/him) holds a Masters In Pastoral Ministry, is a Certified Spiritual Director, Certified Dream Work Facilitator,  a Catholic priest with the US Oblates of Mary Immaculate and Adjunct Faculty at the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, TX.

Daniel journeyed with a Jungian analyst for ten years as a spiritual director, which led him to complete his training as a dream facilitator with the Haden Institute where he currently serves as a staff member and mentor with the Dream Work Training program. He has given classes and workshops on dream work as a contemplative practice in various religious and Christian traditions. Fr. Daniel gives dream retreats, practices one-on-one and group dream group facilitation, and offers workshops on dream theatre.   

Daniel finds that working with unconscious material through the Jungian Christian Tradition’s prism allows interreligious connections to be practiced in an embodied creative fashion. He enjoys how his background in psychodrama, theatre, 12-step recovery programs, Christian Theology, and trauma-informed holistic approaches has seamlessly integrated into dreamwork. He marvels at how dreamwork appreciation uncovers repressed positive and negative qualities and values with safety and dignity.  

His core metaphor for ministry is pearl divers. He dives with directees into inner work and the mystery of the unconscious to find the precious pearls that reveal the mystery of God’s calling and action. He is writing a book on dreams as mystical theatre inspired by God, the divine playwright.

Gillian Drader (she/her) describes the joy of walking the path of contemplation and soul care for over 10+ years as having changed her life. Through personal retreats, spiritual direction and participating in long term spiritual growth groups she has experienced incredible personal growth and deep spiritual wells that have drawn her closer to Divine Love and her authentic self. Following her graduation from the Haden Institute’s Spiritual Direction Program, Gillian was part of the leadership for a spiritual direction training school in British Columbia where she was able to deepen her understanding of how this soul work can transform lives and be a catalyst for change in this challenged world. Gillian has been a Psychotherapist for over 25 years and has also walked the path of emotional and psychological healing with many individuals. She has a passion for the intersection between spirituality and trauma and to bring those two paths together in her work. The wisdom, knowledge and incredibly meaningful personal expansion that has occurred during her time in circle and spiritual direction and her Haden training have led Gillian to a deep commitment to bringing this work into what she offers to clients as well as young therapists who are developing their skills. She invites all to join her in these transformative and beautiful spaces and discover the deep treasures awaiting there.

Jennie Wakefield, MA, RSME (she/her) is an associate teacher of Tamalpa Institute and uses its Life/Art Process to approach several areas of her interest from an embodied perspective.  She leads movement-based expressive arts circles from her home studio in Greenville, SC using movement, writing, and drawing to explore and deepen relationships between psychological life, social issues, and creativity.  As a Senior Lecturer in the English Department at Clemson University (retired, emerita), she taught Composition and Humanities courses, which often explored connections between body, creativity, symbol, and the built and natural environments.  She is a contra dance caller and views this accessible communal dance form as real-time experience of dance’s archetypal role as community glue and ritual.  She completed Haden’s Dream Leader training in 2009 and has returned to Haden to facilitate workshops in embodiment, call Saturday night contra dances, and facilitate dream groups at the summer conference.

Julie Merritt Lee

Julie Merritt Lee

Julie Merritt Lee (she/her) tracks wonder, laps up words, and finds the numinous in the landscape of loss.  She is a spiritual companion, helping people through their own “alchemy of heartbreak,” discernment, spiritual malaise or liminal space that wants expression. She uses various modalities in her work including writing, dream work, and body movement to name a few.  Her formal training includes a BA in English and a Masters of Divinity.  She is also a graduate of the Haden Institute’s Dream Work Training and Spiritual Direction Training programs.  As a former pastor in Hendersonville, Julie started a feeding program where a guest recounted every week that “Jesus walks the woodline.” Julie is still walking the woodline looking for Jesus and finds herself closest to the Holy in a hammock.  Her current passion is working for PathLights (www.wearepathlights.com) where she teaches a trauma-informed, holistic path through loss.

Mary Louise McCullough

Mary Louise McCullough

Mary Louise McCullough (she, her) is a spiritual director, dream work facilitator, retreat leader and writer who is building a spiritual direction practice in her new home in Erie PA. She loves the mysterious, changing moods and beauty of Lake Erie. Years ago, Mary Louise set out to be a journalist with activist tendencies and ended up a pastor with a passion for social justice. Ministry took her to spaces which stretched and frustrated her while opening deeper understandings of spirituality, cultural injustice and transformation. Having become a spiritual director before entering seminary with a passion for storytelling and contemplative practices, she was fueled by the wisdom and courage of women mystics such as Julian of Norwich and the Beguines. These ancient sisters helped her ride the wild winds of 21stcentury church life first in a small town, then Pittsburgh and, finally, Nashville. For 20 years in ministry Mary Louise participated in ongoing social and spiritual conversations about gender/sexual identity and racism. She advocated for Pride and picketed for BLM during Covid. She is learning to deal with her biases and places of resistance by getting to know her shadow. Mary Louise heard about Haden from friends, attended a summer dream conference and rediscovered Carl Jung, whose ideas had been floating in her awareness for years. She graduated from the Haden Institute’s Dream Work Training Program and is now pursuing this new/old path with freedom to visit two small grandchildren in Nashville. Her husband serves two churches in Erie.

Schawn Kellogg

Through the years she has become especially passionate about helping people to identify the gifts of their spiritual essence, as well as the liability of any good gift that goes wild! She enjoys on-going conversation and self-reflection that helps each of us identify baby steps toward a moderation of our good gifts, which promotes well-being and balance in our relationship with ourselves and with others.

Sheila Petruccelli

Sheila Petruccelli

Sheila Petruccelli (she/love) holds sacred space as Director of Creative Embodiment for the Haden Institute by meeting with small groups, creating rituals for large groups and building altars everywhere she goes. Facilitating conversations around creativity (and the shame and obstacles that often accompany it), Sheila gently offers ways to tap the deep wellspring of authenticity she believes everyone possesses. During each in-person intensive, Sheila sets up an art studio on campus that is part enchanted cottage, part forgotten chapel and part her grandmother’s kitchen. The “Creative Space” as it’s affectionately called, has become the place people come to navigate the liminal space between what they know and what they don’t know they know. She delights in helping others find expression for that emergent edge of growth that often defies language, encouraging exploration of the silent spaces before and beyond words. “Listen to your hands” is the best advice she’s got – echoing the truth Carl Jung spoke when he said “the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.” With gifts for reading energy and interpreting images, Sheila bows before the unseen, the unknown and the unimaginable. She offers spiritual direction, dreamwork and astrological readings to clients in private practice. For irregular glimpses into her untamed and untrained artistic life, follow her on Instagram @sheila.petruccelli.

Sheri Kling

Sheri Kling

Sheri D. Kling, Ph.D. (she,her) is currently serving as director of Process & Faith, a multifaith network of relational spirituality affiliated with the Center for Process Studies and as director of the John Cobb Legacy Fund, a planned giving program supporting three nonprofits. Her diverse experience includes a career in marketing and communications, time spent touring as a singer-songwriter and recording artist, and the midlife academic journey that earned her Masters degrees in religion and theological studies and a Doctorate in religion. She has worked in business, the nonprofit arena, and academia. Sheri has served on the faculty of the Haden Institute since 2011, initially offering workshops at the Summer Dream and Spirituality Conference, and then as a keynote speaker and teacher in the Haden Institute’s Dream Work and Spiritual Direction certification programs. As an author, speaker, singer, and spiritual mentor, Sheri draws from wisdom and mystical traditions, relational worldviews, depth psychology, and the intersection of spirituality and science to help people find meaning, belonging, and transformation. Since discovering Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes work in the early 90s, Sheri has been passionate about inner work, dreams, and the intersection of our psychological and spiritual journeys. Then, finding Joyce Rockwood Hudson’s work blew open Sheri’s theological world and married it to Jungian thought. This journey, the theology of Alfred North Whitehead and the analytical psychology of Carl Jung now puts Sheri’s mission as midwifing wholeness in individuals, organizations, communities, and culture. Her work can be found online at www.sherikling.com.

Susan Thompson

Susan Thompson

Susan Thompson, MA, is a certified Jungian-Based Spiritual Director in private practice, a Spiritual Direction Mentor at the Haden Institute, and a Founder of the Guild for Transformational Studies (Jungian-based home study groups, classes, and retreats for spiritual and psychological growth).  She engages individuals and groups in dreamwork using approaches developed by Carl Jung, Marie-Louise von Franz and the Haden Institute, and companions seekers as they examine the trajectory of their own spiritual journeys.  She has re-visioned expressive writing for use in spiritual direction by creating and guiding ready-to-use, theme-based sessions that invite directees to write to questions that explore challenging emotions, experiences and relationships. At the core of her work is a deep sense of what it means to be human living in the presence of Mystery — that life holds questions meant for each of us to ponder and greater wholeness develops when we unearth undiscovered material in the unconscious and bring it into consciousness through dreamwork, expressive writing, art, body movement and intuitive conversations, among others. Susan is a graduate of Haden Institute’s Spiritual Direction Program and holds an MA in Language and Literature from the University of Michigan and an AMI degree in Developmental Education.
