Jeanne Clark, OP

eldering, loving, earthing

Jeanne Clark is an author, storyteller, contemplative and poet living into the vision of Thomas Berry who encouraged her to become intimate with Earth. 

Jeanne is a member of the Dominican Order founded in the 13th century and is in the process of letting go of b-liefs that no longer align with the story of the universe, while at the same time embracing the truth and wisdom living in the traditions of the Catholic Church.

Jeanne is an educator who was instrumental in the creation of Homecoming Farm, a community supported  agricultural  project  or (CSA) which was founded to help humans heal through the nurturance of soil and seed and producing vegetables without the use of chemicals.Homecoming Farm was also the site for programs for children and adults in understanding themselves as part of Earth and as intricately connected to the land they call home.  

Sister Jeanne has been a teacher for over forty years; she has been a campus minister, a pastoral associate in parishes and a long-time activist in both anti-nuclear, anti-war and environmental issues. She attributes her coming home to the land to the Salvadoran people whom she accompanied home from a refugee camp in Honduras to El Salvador.

In 2005 Jeanne was awarded the Peacemaker of the Year by Pax Christi Long Island.   Her book – a memoir titled All The Way In traces her journey through activism, incarceration and organic farming. 

She counts as two of her great loves to be children and soil.

Shadi Mogadime (on leave of absence)

breathing, exploring, deeply-opening

Shadi (pronounced so it rhymes with "buddy") has been a student of many modalities in 30+ years of spiritual and personal growth exploration. Her deepest dive is in Buddhism and in the practices of meditation, yoga, and qigong. She is a meditation teacher and meditation & mindfulness in action facilitator. She has used these experiences and the knowledge she developed to mentor organizations and coach individual clients from around the world. Shadi feels very fortunate to have spent her 35-year professional career in the charitable sector in change management, fundraising and marketing roles for crucial humanitarian causes, arts & culture and social change organizations. She is now feeling at a standstill. She knows in her heart that what brought her here will not take her there in this more volatile, uncertain and divided world. Shadi is in an exploration to uncover what will now bring peace, joy and deep connection. She shares her journey with coaching clients and participants in her courses.

"My mission and purpose is in sacred service to humankind in … 'a re-consecration of our place in the holiness of existence',” as Martin Shaw so succinctly and eloquently states. This would include humanity’s collective recognition that we have always been holy and to live in that accord with humankind, beloved Earth, and the Cosmos. Greetings to All my Relatives!"
