We welcome Rev. Lauren Van Ham as our

Guest Preacher this morning!

Lauren is deeply dedicated to living sustainably on Earth, our only home. She was born and raised beneath the big sky of the Midwest, and holds degrees from Carnegie Mellon University, Naropa University, and The Chaplaincy Institute. Lauren worked as an interfaith hospital chaplain, serving St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco. She was also the Executive Director of Green Sangha, a nonprofit organization practicing spiritually engaged environmental activism.  In 2007, recognizing that caring for the earth had become her deep love, Lauren entered corporate America and went to work at Saatchi & Saatchi S, a sustainability consultancy in San Francisco. She has worked with a range of Fortune 1000 clients, combining her passion and skills to custom-design curriculum and facilitate trainings to increase awareness, encourage behavior change and build new bridges between the inner/outer ecology of individuals and organizations. In the summer of 2007, she professed herself an Eco-Chaplain. Currently, Lauren tends her private spiritual direction and consulting practice, and serves as Dean for her alma mater, The Chaplaincy Institute, in Berkeley, CA.
