Awakening as Holy Mystery: Realizing Christ Heart

Kevin is rooted in the ancient Wisdom that the human being, like all creatures, is an embodied expression of boundless love. The human heart’s deepest longing is to realize that this Love is flowing forth as the Source of all that is. This Source is Holy Mystery, because Love is a center without any edge. The heart yearns to taste the truth that the fabric of its very being, is nothing but this Holy Mystery.

Kevin’s gentle and compassionate teaching is rooted in wonderment and exploration of the spiritual fecundity of the present moment, drawing upon the Christian mystics, meditation, body practice, and the enneagram. He has been a student of the Diamond Approach since 2006. He received Jukai from Shoken Winecoff of Ryumonji Soto Zen Buddhist Temple in May, 2004, and has been authorized by Senior Buddhist Teacher, Stephen Snyder, to explore use of the Brahma Viharas within the Christian tradition. Kevin is also an authorized Instructor of Diamond Body Practice and a certified teacher of the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition.

As an Episcopal Priest for almost 30 years, he has helped found the Healing Arts Centers at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Parish in Portland, Oregon and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Marquette, Michigan. He is the author of the forthcoming book from Wipf & Stock, Awakening as Holy Mystery: Realizing Christ Heart, as well as five previous books, Beyond My Wants, Beyond My Fears: The Soul’s Journey into the Heartland, I Have Called You Friends, Holding Beauty in My Soul’s Arms, and My Heart is a Raging Volcano of Love for You. Kevin is also a contributing essayist for Progressing Spirit.

Kevin holds three advanced degrees in theology: an MA, an MTS, and a Ph.D.

He lives with his wife, Rïse, an Episcopal Priest and Director of Spiritual Care for a Portland hospital, in Beaverton, Oregon.
