Elspeth

Healer, teacher, pastoral Counselor, irrepressible storyteller - Elspeth is an honored Elder of the alternative spiritual community. She is co-founder of The Haven Community and a proponent of The Haven Way: an eco-spiritual path of personal and planetary transformation. Her workshops reflect her primary concerns: healing as a multi-dimensional spiritual path, the unrecognized value of the older woman, the integral relationship between humans and all other creatures of this world (and maybe other worlds?). Elspeth is a living example of the messages she brings: a 75-year-old great-grandmother who travels in a converted school bus named Gwendolyn. Gwendolyn is Elspeth's home-away-from-home for weeks, even months, at a time as she criss-crosses the country doing her work.

Elspeth holds the Certificate of Shamanic Practitioner from The Church of Earth Healing. All her other training is experiential, and her learning received directly from The Source. Her most recent contributions to personal development are the women's retreats "Resonating With the Crone," now in its sixth year; and "Reclaiming Yourself," new this year. When she is not being Crone-on-the-Road, Elspeth is at home in wild and wonderful West Virginia, with her beloveds: Nybor, two fur persons and a small orchard.
