The ”in town” fee only applies when night lodging & meals are necessitated due to travel distance and/or flights. The transportation fee for in person offerings activates when a travel distance is greater than 15 miles from White Oak, Maryland. The transportation fee is 58.5 cents per mile.
For example, if no night lodging is required, an in-person offering 31 miles away would have a transportation fee of 58.5 cents per mile for a total of $18.14. An in-person offering 15 miles or less would not have a transportation fee.
SUNSTONE CHAPEL IN RESIDENCE
Hire Sunstone Chapel to serve your community for a month at a time.
At Sunstone Chapel, my theme is always Beloved Community. I have a network of distinguished liberal faith leaders I collaborate with to ensure your pulpit and community enrichment is covered during the residency. Sunstone Chapel in Residence brings diverse, new voices not just to your pulpit - but to other areas of your congregation for a deeper and longer-lasting impact.
A Sunstone Chapel in Residency is a powerful spiritual enrichment opportunity for your community. Sunstone Chapel in Residence can cover every single Sunday worship service a month, including long months with 5 Sundays, freeing your leadership to confidently focus on other pressing matters or well deserved rest.
In person offerings include a transportation fee and a separate daily ‘in town’ fee.
BENEFITS OF SUNSTONE CHAPEL IN RESIDENCY
The absence of a minister or other worship leader is a great opportunity for the presence of spiritual leadership from a diverse perspective. Let your faith community be immersed in worship services that help exercise their spiritual muscle in what it means to be welcoming, inclusive, and multicentric.
Celebrating + Uplifting BIPOC:
This type of immersion can also be heartfelt for the marginalized groups within your congregation. Your BIPOC members will have the opportunity to experience their faith community decenter whiteness and the status quo to embody multicentric spirituality during the residency. Racism, lack of belonging, and responding to inequities and other oppressions takes a toll on the health and well-being of those impacted. Black and brown people are disproportionately impacted. Bringing Sunstone Chapel in Residence to your faith community can help alleviate some of the fatigue and demonstrate your support of Beloved Community.
Spirit-Led:
Sunstone Chapel in Residence does not “take over the steering wheel” in absence of your minister or community leader. We let the steering wheel go, get out of the car, and invite your community to walk with us into a deeply felt spiritual journey.
Pastoral Care:
Will your faith community need pastoral care services during our time together? If so, a member of our team will serve as your pastoral care point person during the residency, at your request. The spiritual caregiver provides on-call emotional and spiritual support during their sacred ministry of presence. At your convenience, this person may also be available for rites of passage and other transitions as needed.
Virtual Accessibility:
Though my colleagues and I are happy to travel, Sunstone Chapel in Residence isgreat for those who wish for a virtual residency.
SUNSTONE CHAPEL IN RESIDENCE may include worship services, adult faith development workshops, focus groups, and participation in your key meetings and events. Let's chat about what works best for you!

Holistic Sexuality Self-Care: Through our Clear Authentic Truth (CAT) theme, participants deepen their understanding of sexuality from a progressive, faith-based perspective. CAT is specifically for BIPOC Women. We reflect on our journey towards clear, authentic, meaning-making around our truths about sexuality from a socio-spiritual perspective. This topic supports us in making informed and responsible decisions about sexual health and behavior while centering love, justice, and self-knowledge. CAT is adapted from the Our Whole Lives (OWL) Curriculum to be exclusively virtual with culturally relevant adjustments for inclusiveness. There are multiple classes within this theme.
-
The Leadership for Liberation (LFL) theme is adult spiritual deepening through Faith-grounded Leadership. We explore and reflect on anti-oppression, liberation, and the sacred through the lens of servant leadership. We need leaders at all levels, job titles, roles, and backgrounds and this theme supports growing such leadership. There are multiple classes within this theme.

Sunstone Chapel in Residence is a custom enrichment experience. Please email us to schedule a connection call to discuss your needs.

Signature Theme Talks and Keynotes
I speak on my specialty areas of (1) workplace justice /human resources (2) liberal sexuality education, and (3) leadership development. I also enjoy speaking on how small congregations can thrive and secure their relevance and vitality in the midst of the changing landscape from religious to spiritual.
I am trained as both an Adult Our Whole Lives (OWL) and SACReD Curriculum on Reproductive Dignity facilitator.
For years I've been grateful for the many opportunities to develop, facilitate and teach in various spaces such as congregations, nonprofits, institutions of higher education, professional conferences, and the federal government.
INCLUSIVE SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING
Launching in 2024 - Are you ready to satisfy compliance requirements, mitigate risk, and nurture a healthier workplace with inclusive, values-based training?
Ready to put your values into action with training that lifts the wide spectrum of diversity into its scenarios and best practices? The wait is almost over!
My Unique Curriculum
Unlike many sexual harassment trainings available, my curriculum includes examples and guidance that lifts up the wide spectrum of diversity into its scenarios and best practices.
This includes but isn’t limited to gender identity, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, ethnicity, lifestyle, and those living with disabilities. Representation matters. Live, inclusive sexual harassment prevention training can be more meaningful and effective than generic, click-button, self-paced online experiences.
This is not a curriculum for those who just want to “check the box”. This is for organizations who also want to strengthen their workplace culture by choosing training in alignment with their progressive values. Creating systems of accountability while emphasizing culture change and bystander intervention is a priority.
Historically, efforts aimed at creating belonging and fostering inclusion have been hindered by structural oppression. Structural oppression is often tightly woven into an organizations policy, systems, practices, vendors, and even training programs.
Inclusive training such as this, contributes to alleviating structural oppression. It’s created to be deliberately inclusive while mitigating stereotypes often seen in most off the shelf (self-paced and generic trainings). It’s also live, instructor based, and designed to be both engaging and educational.
Who Should Attend?
Employees, supervisors, volunteers, and members of progressive faith-based and inclusive social justice organizations.
I would like inclusive sexual harassment training for my employees, but I'm not a faith based or social justice organization. Can you still help me?
Yes! however, instead of attending the open enrollment training, schedule a chat with me so we can set up a customized training just for your folks.
Why should I attend?
Is diversity and equity a part of your strategic plan or values? By choosing this inclusive training for your organization, you are moving forward with your goals of operationalizing your deeply held values and beliefs. Additionally, many state courts consider sexual harassment prevention training as essential, even if not required. This training is recommended for organizations seeking to be proactive in mitigating their legal risk. Ensure your staff, members, and volunteers serve in a supportive environment where sexual harassment and similar inappropriate behavior are not tolerated.
How long is it?
Two to three hours.
What is the class size?
Maximum is 25 per training session.
How much does it cost?
$185 per person. A 10% discount will be applied for groups of 10 or more. The inaugural class in February 2024 is only $90 (over 50% off). The Group discount is not applicable to the February class.
When is the next class?
The inaugural class is schedule for Monday February 19th, Noon EST on President's Day.
Does this training meet state requirements and EEO recommendations?
Yes. You will also receive a certificate of completion. My curriculum is compliant in all 50 states including the specific state requirements of California, Connecticut, Washington DC. Delaware, Illinois, Maine, and New York. This is ideal for organizations who have employees who travel or work in multiple states. This program focuses on preventing sexual harassment and other unlawful harassment in the workplace.
Which states or cities require sexual harassment prevention training?
New York City, Chicago, New York, Delaware, California, Illinois, and Maine.
Do I need this training if my state does not require it?
Even if your state doesn’t require such training, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and numerous Court Rulings make clear that employers who provide such training are better equipped to mitigate legal risk and potential impact to their reputations. Federal court decisions have shown that employers who do not train all employees may lose their ability to avoid punitive damages in a harassment lawsuit (Kolstad v. American Dental Association).
Will I received a certificate of completion?
Yes. Each participate will receive an electronic certificate of completion through email. Failure to attend the entire training may result in your not receiving a certificate of completion.
I am ready to register! What are my next steps?

Registrants will have until 5 full days prior to training start date to request a refund by email. (Example, if training is February 19th, then refunds are approved until February 13th). Registrants who do not attend all or some of the training will not qualify for a refund.

"Your contributions, including your Kwanzaa collaboration with Black Souls, were greatly appreciated. Your sermons, especially the one you gave on Mother’s Day, were awesome. I will listen to them again and share them. I hope your time with us was as much of a blessing to you as it was to us, and look forward to seeing your light shine brighter in more places. We will miss you Many Thanks."

QUARTERLY VIRTUAL DINNER CHAPEL
Join me and like-hearted others for a virtual gathering over a meal.
We come together for informal spiritual nourishment, learning, reflection, and mutual support to sustain us as we labor forward towards a more just and peaceful world.
Bring your authentic self and your dinner or favorite beverage to your computer or mobile device. We will take in thought provoking topics intertwined with a brief spiritual message, and group discussions in a supportive atmosphere as we hold space for personal growth. This includes time to reflect on our joys, struggles, and aspirations into what we are called to do and be.
These occasional virtual dinner chapels are relaxed and open to all seeking space for deep connection with others. Topics vary and the themes rotate between adult sexuality and personal leadership. Join my email list to get notified of our next Dinner Chapel.
Dinner Chapel topics center on how to faithfully flourish through self-care, leadership development, and congregational health (faith-based organizational development). Come as you are. Depart feeling nourished, supported, and with ‘food for thought and spirit’ so that you can live your values out loud and do your part to make the world a better place.
Other Services
As a Lay Community Minister, I guide families through funerals and celebrations of life for beloved animal companions. In the Unitarian Universalist tradition, we embrace all forms of life and love.
If your furry, winged, scaled, or floofy family member is nearing the end or has passed, I offer in-person and Zoom services to help you honor and celebrate their life.
Join me in creating a meaningful farewell.
