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 DiscoveringWholeness.com.  A native of southern New Jersey just outside of Philadelphia, Bill carries his Philly accent with him wherever he goes.

Chelsea Wakefield, PhD, LCSW (she,hers) is a Psychotherapist  specializing in conscious relationships and inspirational living. She is the Director of the Couples Center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Creator of the Luminous Woman® Weekend and Author of three books: Negotiation the Inner Peace Treaty – Becoming the Person You Were Born to Be, In Search of Aphrodite – Women, Archetypes, and Sex Therapy; and The Labyrinth of Love – the Path to a Soulful Relationship. Chelsea describes herself as a life-long learner who continues to teach as she grows.  She says teaching at Haden has been one of her great joys, as she loves the students who come to Haden – individuals who already have a depth of wisdom combined with soul curiosity and an eagerness to keep growing.  She shares that her dreams have continued to guide her vocational path into delving more deeply into a depth sexuality and creating The Luminous Woman Weekends – which invite women into an exploration of their feminine depths and crossing new thresholds in their individuation journeys.  Chelsea enjoys the expanding reach of The Luminous Woman concepts as they stretch out beyond Jungian circles into communities of women who have never before explored their inner lives or heard of Carl Jung.  Hired by Bob Haden as faculty in 2000 Chelsea has been a part of the The Haden Institute’s core faculty in both the Dreamwork and Spiritual Direction programs and offered multiple keynotes at the Summer Dream Conferences.

Chris Bache, Ph.D. (he, him) has spent his life moving between the worlds of academia and psychedelic exploration. Trained as a philosopher of religion at Brown University, he became convinced early in his career that psychedelics represent a revolution in philosophy. By giving us systematic access to dimensions of consciousness beyond space-time reality, these sacraments are triggering a turning point in western thought and driving the emergence of a new academic discipline – psychedelic philosophy. Chris pushed his psychedelic practice beyond therapeutic healing and spiritual awakening to explore the deep structure of the universe itself. He worked for 20 years in therapeutically structured high-dose LSD sessions, and another 20 years digesting his experiences and extracting their core cosmological insights. Chris’ journey moved him regularly beyond linear time into Deep Time, beyond personal transformation into the arc of humanity’s collective transformation, giving him prophetic visions of an emerging global crisis and the imminent birth of a radically transformed Future Human. Chris is professor emeritus in the department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University in Ohio. He is also adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies, Emeritus Fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and on the Advisory Council of Grof Legacy Training. He has written four books: Lifecycles – a study of reincarnation; Dark Night, Early Dawn – psychedelic philosophy and collective consciousness; The Living Classroom – collective fields of consciousness in teaching; and LSD and the Mind of the Universe – his 20-year journey with LSD. Chris has been a spiritual seeker all his life. Chris looks forward to serving the Haden community in any way he can. He lives in Weaverville, NC, with his wife Christina Hardy, a professional astrologer and past-life therapist.

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.

She has a passion for the intersection between spirituality and trauma and to bring those two paths together in her work.

Jennie Wakefield, MA, RSME (she/her) is a Senior Lecturer in the English Department at Clemson University, where she teaches Composition and Rhetoric, and Humanities courses, most recently on the role of dance and body in cultures.  Jennie is an associate teacher of Tamalpa Institute and its Life/Art Process, an intermodal arts process that uses movement, imagination, and artistic processes to explore and deepen relationship to psychological life, social issues, and creativity.  She is also 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.  Jennie is a graduate of the Haden Institute’s Dream Work Training Program and has returned to Haden trainings to facilitate workshops in embodiment and to call Saturday night contra dances.  She also facilitates dream groups at the summer conference.

The quantitative methods many general education students have learned, the hoops jumped through to get into college, are the same ones that many educated in industrialized countries have absorbed – “I think, therefore I am.”  Mind trumps body.  Yet, we long for the symbolic awareness that attention to psycho-spiritual life, intentional play, and embodied sensory experience can bring.  Jennie’s background in movement-based expressive arts and Jungian dreamwork and her challenge and pleasure in working with college students, is positioning the kinesthetic and sensory alongside language. She has found that in weighing qualitative experience equally with quantitative product, we confront the effects of life’s binary oppositions, which threaten relationships between, individuals, groups, humans and nature.

Larry Maze, MDiv. told his teacher at the age of eight that he wanted to be a teacher. Such a dream didn’t seem likely when he quit high school and joined the US Navy. After discharge he went on to earn his BS, MS and eventually his MDiv. He began to teach in the public schools, then as a teaching assistant at the university level. He was ordained as a priest in The Episcopal Church 50 years ago and eventually became the XII Bishop of Arkansas. He taught even as a bishop, claiming that a bishop was called to teaching above most of the other claims on their time. Also, as bishop, Larry encouraged and supported the education of Jungian psychology as it interlaces with Christian Spirituality and favored the growth of dream work and inner work throughout the congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas.  He believes whether we look or not, all of us are in service to whomever or whatever occupies the Center of our being. And that the god-image long shaped by Christianity in America is dying. That such a shift happening at our center demands our attention and preparedness to where we find ourselves as a new god-image is born. He has taught, through keynotes and preaching, at the Haden Institute’s Summer Dream and Spirituality Conferences almost from its beginning. Larry’s keynotes are unfailingly brilliant.

Listen to Larry’s keynote, Christian Mystics and Jungian Expressions from the 2009 Summer Dream Conference.

The Rev Deacon Marsha Evans Holmes (she/her/hers) comes from a background that includes a 30-year history of working as a corporate Executive, serving as a Vice President of Verizon Communications and managing Pastoral Care for one of the 5 largest Episcopal Churches in the U.S.  She is currently an Episcopal Deacon in Diocese of Florida with her work focused on Racial Healing and Pastoral Care.

She graduated from the Haden Institute’s Spiritual Direction Training Program and serves as one of its Mentors.  She has also attended several of Haden Institute’s Dream Conferences. Marsha has a significant focus on racial healing as a part of her parish ministry. One of her passions is dream work and she hopes to offer dream work opportunities to her parish with another Haden colleague.  In her role as facilitator to the Diocesan School of Deacons Marsha believes that she brings the tools she has learned as a Spiritual Director to aid in the development of her students. She feels her role as Deacon is at times connected with the marginalized community and that her experience with Haden has had an effect on making her connections feel even deeper. Marsha says Haden Institute has been valuable to her on many levels of her personal and Ecclesiastical work.

Marsha M. Carnahan (she/her) is a Spiritual Director who also works as a Creative Healing Practitioner, a Licensed Massage Therapist, a Theta Touch Healing Practitioner and workshop leader, a Family Constellation Facilitator, and a Certified Reiki Master. Marsha is currently a distant Creative Healing Energy Practitioner providing virtual only sessions for clients with a focus on dreams, active imagination, and consciousness healing work. Marsha is a graduate of Haden Institute’s Dream Work Training program and serves as a Dream Work Mentor and Workshop Leader. Marsha’s current passions include connecting a client’s waking problem with a dream symbol and using creative dreamwork to get to the core of an issue. She enjoys assisting clients to move their dreams and symbols forward through the arts and music, where that embodiment can help to move old stories out quickly and write new ones worthy of living in. She enjoys connecting Jungian principles to client’s lives and to see that their quality of life has changed, and some can even come off their medication. Marsha believes that when a client can begin to not only help themselves with the principles, but they can also help others in the family and community where changes occur. She describes this akin to Haden’s philosophy of changing the World by raising consciousness – the Light!

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 21^stcentury 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.

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.

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.

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.

He and his colleague, Dr. Jandel Crutchfield, co-authored a chapter, “Interracial and Interdenominational Faculty Partnerships for Social Justice Work” for the graduate-level textbook “Contemporary Perspectives on Spirituality in Education.” Tony’s therapeutic work with children impacted by ICE raids was featured on CNN and he frequently contributes to the programming at St. Augustine’s Episcopal Chapel on the Vanderbilt campus. Tony presented on topics related to the merger of action and contemplation at the 2018 and 2019 Summer Dream & Spirituality Conferences. Tony’s current passions are dreamwork, the expansion of consciousness, working with the unconscious processes, and discovering the gold in the shadow. Tony appreciates Haden’s uniqueness in blending the Christian mystical tradition with Jungian theory in a way that deeply honor both traditions and promotes human flourishing.
