"A Year of Birds and a Turn Toward Chaplaincy” Teresa Jordan
After forty years as an author and artist, Teresa Jordan’s life took a surprising turn during the pandemic when she found herself embarked on the path to becoming a Buddhist chaplain. She also started drawing or painting a bird every day. For this service, she will talk about the connections between contemplative care and meditative practice in nature, and will share a short video from her experience, “Birds of Praise.”
Teresa’s books include "Riding the White Horse Home", a memoir of the Wyoming ranch community in which she was raised, and "The Year of Living Virtuously, Weekends Off", a series of non-righteous meditations about virtue and vice. In May of this year, Teresa received her Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling from the New York Theological Seminary as well as a Certificate of Professional Achievement in Narrative Medicine from Columbia University. She will start as a chaplain resident at Providence Portland Medical Center this fall. She and her husband Hal Cannon recently moved from southern Utah near Zion National Park to live on a floating home across from Sauvie Island.
