About Patrice
My life and work live at the intersection where God's story meets our story — and I have spent my life learning to read both.
I write to listen.
I write to tell the truth about the soul.
I write to make room.
I write as someone listening for God.
I write to hold a sanctuary — through story, silence, and attention.
I minister to trace the places where God's story meets our story — in scripture, in the inner life, and in the quiet, unfolding rhythm of ordinary days.
My work lives at the intersection of story and Spirit.
Sometimes that takes the shape of a reflection.
Sometimes a character's voice.
Sometimes a gentle piece of soulwork.
Sometimes a storytelling retreat.
All of it flows from a grounded, prayerful way of seeing the world.
I am an artist minister who helps you tend your soul and find the words God has placed within you.
My education and training — which includes a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership from Boston University, a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Goddard College, and spiritual direction training through Sustainable Faith — are tools I bring to my primary calling as a minister of the Gospel. I also serve as Associate Minister of Spiritual Formation and Creative Practice at Convergence — a ministry for artists of faith and the creator of soul|makers. These experiences shape me, but what guides my writing most is a longing to know, love, and follow Christ.
If you feel at home in that kind of space, I’m grateful our paths have crossed.
