Jeannie Bowman is a wife, a mother, a contemplative — happily living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her background includes Quaker educator, practice as spiritual companion, worship and retreat leader, and spiritual formation teacher. She is a graduate of the Hesychia School of Spiritual Direction, Tucson, AZ.

Prayer, scripture studies, Quaker clearance committees, liturgy, and sacred music have developed her heart for holy listening and discernment of the Spirit at work in herself and in the lives of those with whom she is engaged in spiritual direction experiences. Journaling is a part of her daily spiritual discipline.

She is a member of Spiritual Directors International, an Elder in the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), enjoys facilitating cancer support workshop A New Song to Sing (Linda L. Loving), is a Ghost Ranch faculty member, and an avid handbell ringer. When she is not teaching or ringing, you will likely find her walking a familiar trail, working in her garden, or having tea with a friend.
