Meet the director

Meet Patricia. Award-winning writer, retreat facilitator, spiritual director, expressive arts educator and lover of the simple life. 

Opportunities for educators and healthcare heroes will be offered regularly, to support and honor you for your priceless work during the ongoing pandemic.

R&R programs are designed with you in mind as a respite from the challenging work you do. Incorporating expressive art (no experience needed), contemplative spiritual practices,  writing, sharing stories, and a little bit of play, each program is unique because each group is.

The small group setting and safe, sacred space make Seastar Wellness the perfect place to regenerate and renew. 

You might wonder why there is a seastar here. Many species of sea stars, also known as starfish, have the miraculous ability to grow back an arm if they lose one and some species can even regenerate an entire body if there is just one bit of arm remaining. The point being – they get hurt and they re-invent themselves. They regenerate and are renewed. That’s what we do here. Provide tools for regeneration and renewal.
