Jo Kirkendall
Bio: Jo Kirkendall is a Veriditas trained labyrinth facilitator. Having lived in four countries and 12 states, the metaphor of life as a journey is one that is near and dear to her heart. This theme of journey is what draws her to the labyrinth and she loves to introduce people to the labyrinth as a spiritual practice. In her work as a healthcare chaplain she has seen the journey metaphor lived out from birth to death as people have allowed her to “walk alongside” them on their journeys. In recent years Jo has had the honor to facilitate labyrinth groups for fellow Veterans through her work as a VA chaplain and has witnessed the impact of walking the labyrinth and using finger labyrinth has had for Veterans on their journey as they work to heal from their trauma. Having just retired, Jo is now on a new “leg” of her own journey and is looking forward to what she will learn in path before her.
