Deborah Kirkpatrick, BTh, BA, MDiv has been a CASC certified chaplain at the Misericordia Hospital in Edmonton for the last 25 years. She has provided a warm-hearted safe space for others to discover and process their deepest journeys, finding resilience and acceptance of what is. In 2010, she discovered the expressive arts as a means of inquiry, spiritual discernment, and healing . In 2014 she received her Level Two Certification as a Consultant/Educator from the Prairie Institute of the Expressive Arts in Therapy in Calgary, and has developed what she calls “an expressive-arts based spiritual care practice”. She is now delighted to be moving beyond the hospital, sharing and developing workshops for the community!
