As the Director of Operations at Living Wisdom, a 501c3 non-profit ministry, I've had the privilege of co-creating transformative gatherings through retreats, counseling, and ceremonies, fostering personal growth and spiritual awakening. Collaborating with Founder and President Amanda Johnsen, we've designed immersive retreat experiences that provide a nurturing space for self-exploration and connection. Expanding our counseling services to include relational guidance has allowed us to offer compassionate support, particularly in helping individuals and couples heal from religious trauma and resolve interpersonal conflicts.Overseeing our operational aspects, I've ensured our programs maintain high standards of quality and safety, earning recognition for our transformative impact. Looking ahead, I remain dedicated to advancing our mission of inspiring growth and healing. With our team's dedication, Living Wisdom will continue to empower individuals, couples and groups to explore their potential and forge deeper, more meaningful connections.
