This week on Unpacked we are chatting with Joan Alexander, Spiritual Director and member of the 2slgbtqia+ community. Joan is trained by the Haden Institute & Mount Carmel Spiritual Centre to practice Spiritual Direction. She is in a same-gender marriage to a recently retired Anglican priest and is the mother of two adult sons. Joan shares her story of coming out and working in the faith community, her experiences and her realization of her calling to be a spiritual director in order to create a safe place for members, allies and family, of the LGBTQ+ community.
Unpacked is a podcast exploring life as messy people. It’s conversations with counsellors, leaders, and storytellers discussing the experiences of being human. We talk about the strength that comes from big messy failures and vulnerable moments so we can learn to live more authentically. Subscribe and leave us a review!
