Towards the end of my 20 years travelling New Zealand and Asia working with young people in Christian ministry, my colleague and friend Wynsome Diprose and I began to realise that women's spirituality requires a very different environment for its flowering than that offered by our culture and its present institutions.

We began working from my place of spiritual roots, putting together the type of programme requested by women who were finding their way to Piha, before Wynsome's sudden death.

My training for this work has been in Theology, Spiritual Direction, Psychodrama, Counselling and Group work but using the distinctive psychosynthesis approach.
