she/her

Rev. Kacey Carmichael, MA, MEd sees the Great Mystery, the Sacred Universe, wondrously unfolding in and as YOU. Along with a kind heart I bring a sense of humor, non-judgment, expansive awareness, creative engagement, gratitude and trust. I also bring decades of work with individuals and groups integrating expressive arts therapies, embodied/somatic approaches, contemplative rituals and practices, and the cosmology that modern science and indigenous wisdom have provided of ourselves embedded in the web of this 4.5 billion year evolving Earth Community and 14 billion year brilliant beautiful unfolding universe. From this felt experience of deep belonging we make mutually enhancing choices of loving wisdom for ourselves, our beloved planet, and all beings. I bring the soulful depths of personal experience with a disabled child, the loss of a partner, career changes, and aging parents. I also bring the benefits of rigorous education and training at Yale (BA in Biopsychosocial Health), Harvard (Masters in Counseling & Consulting Psychology), Lesley (Masters in Expressive Arts Therapies), and The Chaplaincy Institute (ordained Interfaith Minister and Spiritual Director.) I have a private practice as well as serving a UCC church and on faculty of the Advanced Deeptime Leadership & Wellbeing Program. I love poetry; Authentic Movement; the mystical insights and practices of the many traditions of the world; and communing with plants, animals, sea, stones … the whole earth community. I offer (in-person and online) memorials/weddings/blessings; spiritual companioning and counseling; individual and group practices, courses and retreats.
