About the Organizers - Margo Casey

I grew up outside of Philadelphia in a devout Irish Catholic family. Prayer and dependence on God were natural in my home. We all also loved music, sports and anything out of doors. So when I moved to Colorado for grad school, I wanted to stay. I loved the sun, the focus on out-of-doors activities here and the dear friends I had made. On days off you will find me gardening, biking or enjoying friends or a good novel.

I graduated from Denver Seminary with a degree in Practical Theology. A decade later, I studied and was trained as a Spiritual Director at St. Thomas Seminary. For the past twenty years, I have guided individuals, groups and retreats in exploring intimacy with God in everyday life. I believe my creative leadership style helps folks to feel safe and encounter our Creator in refreshing ways. I have worked for thirty years as a Pastoral Counselor and am currently also working at Inner City Health Center with the working poor.

For the past 20 years I have worshipped in the Episcopal church. My path with God has involved many surprises. Through a few pivotal circumstances, I have grown in my need for the rhythm of the Church seasons, and a liturgical community that honors the mystery of God. This quote by Richard Rohr from his book, Everything Belongs voices an attitude that I hope to live out as we gather in Souly for You. "God is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes."

Souly for You excites me. I appreciate exploring my faith and learning spiritual practices and new ideas with others. I am challenged to know God is bigger than my ideas and experiences. This enhances my enjoyment of God and life. I hope that together as we meet this will happen for all of us.
