Music and Montage
The time after the death of a loved one seems to require one to embody all of the feelings, perhaps like no other time in this life. It is a time in which accountability to the self comes to the forefront, and all must be accepted.
Upon such a time, I am here to encourage subtle acts toward your own creative project -- music and montage.
The purpose of focusing on a montage is the natural study of the Tao.

We foster care that is responsive to all individuals, regardless of present or past spiritual or religious affiliation (including none), race, nationality, sexual orientation, ability, and gender identity. We convene organizations, institutions, individuals and stakeholders interested in any facet of chaplaincy.
We do not seek to proselytize, convert, or otherwise convince others of a particular religious or spiritual conviction. We support a professional field cognizant of and responsive to cultural and individual differences in all forms.
We believe collaboration leverages our strengths and expands community benefits. People doing the work of spiritual care can learn much from (and with) one another beyond their specific setting. Engaging those who become, train or work with chaplains fortifies the foundation for our field. Similarly, we nurture connections with social scientists, religious leaders, and civic leaders. We believe that spiritual care is best provided through collaboration across disciplines and communities
We gather, foster, and share rigorous academic research about the provision of spiritual care across a range of settings to enhance best practices and improve delivery of care. We privilege applied, praxis-oriented research and feedback loops that include clients, practitioners, educators and researchers in a way that strengthens the work of spiritual care.
Maurena McKee
Forest Chaplain – Lavender Spirit Creations
Maurena McKee acts as a multi-religious chaplain in Chirripó mountain of Central America, which she senses as the raised tail of Turtle Island. While residing and practicing in the mountain, she aims to connect with the many villages and ecosystems within the sacred forests. An intention for ethnographic filmmaking and ecological studies is guiding her to act as a theologian, anthropologist and methodologist focused on decolonization and human ecology in the rainforest. Her research skills and findings have been awarded by the Paul Podvin Endowment, supporting ethnography that is now guiding an eco-ministry service and production company that responds to the Earth by circulating with an eco-praxis. She is completing the GTU’s Interreligious Chaplaincy Certificate, while defending her GTU Master’s Capstone Culmination on interfaith yoga and forest chaplaincy, via experimental ethnographic media. Furthermore, as an emerging scholar she is connecting contemplative and intersubjective knowledge-bases in Dharma traditions and Śākta theology with local Marian art and Latin American religious practice, honoring ritual and ceremony that is deeply connected to the Feminine Divine. She is hopeful to continue on to become BCCI certified in the future.
