ATTENDING TO & FROM YOUR

BODY IN TIME & PLACE


Lifelong learners are on a quest of sorts, each having their own paths, desires, challenges, and teachers. Dwight is blessed to have encountered numerous wise guides along his learning quest. Some guides came at pivotal moments, while others journeyed with him for decades. Some have been formal teachers, pastors, spiritual directors, therapists, or friends yet others came through media or the printed page.

Our teachers are not only other people, creation is a teacher. If creation reflects its Creator then it is possible that everything… being, person, system, animal, or facet of creation is poised to enlarge one’s imagination for life, love, the Divine, while also inviting discovery of even more faithful ways of being in relationship with creation. Unexpected gurus are all around us.


Dr. Dwight J. Friesen


Dwight fosters openness of heart to the unexpected gurus inviting us to life, learn, and love. Body in place learning is vital to opening up to living more Shalomically as it naturally provides real-time feedback helping us to feel the impact of our presence within our place’s ecosystem.

Having received so much, he offers himself to others along their paths. Having served as a pastor, leader, mentor, manager, coach, consultant, and spiritual director, he invests his days as a formational educator, professor, writer, consultant, and speaker.

While Dr. Friesen’s teaching is anchored at The Seattle School, he enjoys adjunct teaching, guest lecturing, serving on dissertation committees, teaching leadership teams, or and supporting leaders in their formative development, and is available to you and your group.
