Joanna Davidson Smith

Welcome to this page!

A little about myself - I am an ordained minister in a small Anabaptist denomination called the Church of the Brethren. I am also a spiritual director and reiki master. I love to create beauty in the world, whether it is through writing, designing, or working in my garden. I went through 'Souljourners,' an ecumenical spiritual direction program in Atchison, KS. I attended Fr. Richard Rohr's 'Living School' based in Albuquerque, NM, and I completed a Theopoetics program at Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond, IN (Theopoetics is a lovely blending of poetry and theology - as are we!). I will continue to learn all I can about this thing we call life, exploring every aspect that presents itself to me.

I am interested in spirituality, wholeness & wellbeing, mental health, and caring for Mama Earth. I am a lover of the great plains and seek wide open spaces! I have two beautiful, adult children who are the heart of my heart, and I strive to live mindfully through my relationships, with the earth, and in every part of this life I am living. I love to read, drink tea, and give gifts. I pray that my writing will be a gift to you.
