Wendy sees her role as spiritual director to be like that of a compass. As you participate in the adventure called life it is helpful to have a faith companion to help orientate your life around God’s presence so you can explore and self-discover where God is active and guiding you. This will encompass us holding safe space, being deeply present to what we hear and becoming more aware of the experience of the presence of God.

Wendy is a retired elementary school teacher.

She loves quilting, reading, walking the dog and spending time with her husband and grown children.

I had a 45-year nursing career in Community Health and as a Parish Nurse. After retiring, I graduated from Emmaus Formation Centre as spiritual director. It is an honor to sit with another and hear their stories, to invite the Holy Spirit into this time and to experience the transformation of knowing the touch of Jesus and not just about Jesus.

I have experience with church trauma, grief, health concerns, inner healing and day-to-day living as a wife and mother.

I live on Vancouver Island and look forward to meeting directees, either in person or on Zoom.

My name is Rhonda McLeod, Spiritual Director and graduate of Emmaus Formation Centre, and a licensed Chaplain. My joy is experiencing the beauty of the moment(s) that God’s children recognize Him as the One who is journeying with them. Finding sacred space for confidential conversations or exploring spiritual life is valuable to spiritual formation. Where two or three come together in His name, God has promised to be there. He is the Rain Maker and Rain Giver.

Hosea 6:3- He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
