"Connecting with
the sacred ground of the present
while tending the creative power
of the human imagination"
Stefanie Etzbach-Dale
Life is changing quickly, in ways we may never have anticipated.
As a recently retired Unitarian Universalist Minister, an artist, and a trained Interfaith Spiritual Director, with specialized training in Spiritual Psychology, I have been focusing for over 25 years on helping people identify and connect with the sacred and creative potential within each moment and find their way to spiritual courage, compassion, and creativity.
When we risk expressing ourselves truthfully and bear witness to one another
with a heart of compassionate curiosity we affirm life's complexity,
the unity sourcing all diversity, and the power
to connect and heal.

This website offers a small glimpse into my background, interests, and approach.
As an artist I celebrate the sparks of light and beauty woven into this world.
As a Spiritual Director and Minister I help individuals listen deeply for the wisdom of their soul,
focusing on resilience, the presence of creative potential,
and the responsibility to engage with it.

Comments from clients:
"How lucky I am to have stumbled upon your rich ministry of wisdom!'
"I'm struck by how often you've offered a 'third way' in situations that feel intractable and black and white."
"Every month my sessions with Stefanie coax and guide me on my path to Light
with the most clarity I have found."
"My faith in the divine spirit that energizes us all is regularly confirmed."
"You've brought me back, over and over, to the still, small voice of compassion and heartfulness
when reactivity and habit would lead me down a path of disconnection or hopelessness."
"Your work is about the present and in your expansive, attentive presence,
it really does feel like a present."
