Sr Gabriele Uhlein
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by all things spiritual. I would play “church” as a child, sneak into churches, try to draw God, and pepper my teachers with questions. I am a Catholic Franciscan sister with a longstanding contemplative practice that includes both western centering prayer and eastern Vipassana or insight meditation. and have a deep abiding respect for the inner mystical aspects of all the world religions. My academic background includes a master’s in theology from Mundelein College, Chicago, as well as graduate studies in Christian mysticism, adult spiritual formation, process theology, eco-feminism, and Jungian psychology. I completed a doctorate in Theology and Depth Psychology at the Chicago Theological Seminary in 1995.
I am a life-long artist. I trust the spontaneous arising of creativity, aliveness insight in the creative process. For those who wish to jump start their creativity or work through a creative block, my coaching guidance is grounded in the intuitive creativity approach of Point Zero pioneered by Michele Cassou. I have been practicing intuitive painting since 2009 and completed my 3-year teacher training in 2018. Each blank page always presents a new adventure and fresh learning.
