Christopher Reilly
BEd, MA; Therapeutic Counsellor;
Certified Spiritual Director
My background: I am one of those people whose life path has had many twists and turns. After working in television and design in my younger years, I spent twenty-five years teaching Religion and Art in Stratford.
It was during midlife that I trained to become a psychotherapist and spiritual director. Currently, I am studying at the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. My work as a therapeutic counsellor and spiritual director is influenced by my life experience and training in dreamwork and art.
My journey: I entered my first relationship with a spiritual director many years ago and have continued this practice through each stage of life. Spiritual direction has helped me to notice God’s presence and grace at every stage of my journey.
Wisdom that inspires me: God’s assurance in Isaiah 43: 1-7, “Do not fear, for I am with you" reminds me that we can pass through floods without being overwhelmed and through fires without being consumed. We are beloved and precious in God’s sight. I am grateful for the ways that ongoing spiritual direction has supported my lifelong deepening of faith and I’m humbly grateful when I can pass these gifts on to others.
Nadine Gascho
MA Spiritual Formation; Certified Life Coach; Spiritual Director; Member of ESDA
My background: I was born and raised in Zambia, Africa as a missionary kid. My life has been full of a wide variety of experiences including teaching as an elementary school teacher in Ontario and working in missions in Australia, Malaysia, Scotland, and Western Canada.
My journey: It was during my time in missions that I became passionate about pursuing spiritual health and supporting others in their own journeys. As a result, I began a quest to experience God’s love and respond to Him.
I value spiritual direction because it helps me see myself, my circumstances and the world around me through His eyes. It is a privilege to come alongside and nurture and support others in their pursuit of God through the spiritual disciplines. I will not attempt to fix, heal or advise you but will stay present with you as we look to the True Spiritual Director who can.
