Julie D. Keefer, MA, education, has 14 years of experience teaching physical fitness, outdoor skills, and applied psychology and values clarification.  She also has training and certification in holistic and archetypal studies, spiritual formation, spiritual direction, human potential techniques, outdoor wilderness leadership, progressive relaxation technique, and process accupressure. 

Julie is an advocate for the wilderness, for the inner life, and living simply in order to minimize her impact on the environment, which she believes is a Sacred Gift for the sustainment of life, starting with her own body.   She lives in her small log cabin home, which she built with the help of family and friends in 1980. 

Julie's life focus is devotion to reflective reading, study, and writing related to the psycho-spiritual journey to wholeness and love.  She offers her experience and understanding to others seeking this for themselves through individual spiritual midwifery and journey circles.

Biking, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, drawing and putzing in the workshop and just "being" in nature are her favorite ways to play.

She also enjoys being of service to her family, her land-based and local community, and writes letters to the editor over issues of justice and environmental concern.
