The Outer Edge
Learning to Love the Unknown
with Kathleen C. Mandeville, M.Div.
Welcome to The Outer Edge.
Come sit on my porch with me (or in Zoom). Together let us listen to what’s in your heart, and to what my heart can offer as a source of wisdom and guidance. Where do you need help? What is alive for you? What feels like a mess or stuck? What needs changing? What are you longing for?
Let’s start with where you are, then move through the unknown to find your vision and bring it into form.
It is my deepest joy to meet people in the depth of their hearts and explore this edge.
With over forty years of experience as an Episcopal priest, community pastor, producer, and consultant, I bring a depth of awareness and expertise based on my eclectic professional life.
I have sat with people in city parks, therapist offices, hospitals, college campuses, housing complexes, jails, rehabs, churches, homeless shelters, and my own backyard… everywhere really.
The more we plumb our own depths, the deeper we can lead others into and through theirs. In my personal life, I’ve made my messes, have travelled to hell and back, and lived to tell the tale.
Whatever the point in your process, we identify and navigate the trajectory of getting there.
If you are a community-based group, I am available as a consultant to envision, strategize, and activate your vision.
Life is a dance of both binding and releasing Of choosing & casting off At times, it is threading a needle Or pulling on a strand to unravel
Where is the Spirit moving in your life?
Come gather around a fire May it transmute the hearts Of whomever is sent
Is there a discernment About what sacred act Will make your spirit congruent
As a bell rings As grief speaks to your unknown
As rocks build a wall Now we sit on stone Making a true sound Calling in the bird of the future
Come heart Alight, arise Let us puzzle out The pieces of your life
