The Rev. Kathleen C.
Mandeville M. Div
 I
will initiate marry, counsel & bury... and am along for
the glorious messy human ride of it all. |

It is my honor and passion to connect with people at
the pivotal moments in their lives and create ritual with
them that gathers and reflects the power these moments hold.
I began my ministry 25 years ago when I was ordained an
Episcopal priest. My spiritual practices and life have journeyed
deeply into earth-based and goddess traditions. I have been
involved with the creation of intentional spiritual community
in numerous settings.
Having served as a parish priest of a church/theatre,
St. Clement's in Hell's Kitchen, NYC and as a Chaplain
at Bard College, Annandale, NY— I
have long been engaged with the creation of community
through the integration of ritual, performance, landscape
and hospitality. |

I will initiate, marry, counsel, and bury... and am along
for the glorious messy human ride of it all. As mistress
of fire, I build ceremonial, pyrokinetic and hearth fires,
locating community life around the divine inspiration of
the flame, the egoless performer. |
