Church and family have always been at the center of her life. Myra obtained a BA in Philosophy and an M.Div. from The University of the South, Sewanee, TN, where she received the seminary’s community service award for her work with labyrinths and her efforts to establish the University’s first Indigenous Peoples’ Day observances. She has lived and worked in the Pacific NW for over thirty years; during that time, Myra has served as a layperson and staff member in many capacities in Methodist, ELCA, and Episcopal churches; and in the nonprofit sector as a board member, retreat leader, grant writer, and program developer. Myra is also a Veriditas Certified Labyrinth Facilitator and labyrinth designer who has installed over sixty labyrinths, and she was a founding board member of Stillpoint at Beckside retreat center in Bellingham.
