DAVID MAGINLEY, M.Div. is a chaplain with the cancer and palliative care program at the Queen Elizabeth II hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia and author of BEYOND SURVIVING: Cancer and Your Spiritual Journey. He is also a four-time cancer survivor. This led him to explore meditation, illness and transformation, and the nature of consciousness. David has lectured throughout Canada, conducting workshops with health-care staff and the public on spirituality, cancer, grief, and aspects of emergent and integrative spirituality. He is a Lutheran minister and member of the International Association for Near Death Studies, contributing to research on patient experiences at end-of-life. David holds a B.A. in philosophy and an M.Div. from the University of Saskatchewan. He is also passionate about photography and brings a wealth of life experience to his unique perspective.

FREEMAN PATTERSON, C.M., O.N.B., M.Div. of Shamper’s Bluff, New Brunswick, has made photographs for more than 60 years, taught visual design for more than 50 in Canada and many other countries, and authored 15 books. Freeman’s primary source of awe and wonder is Creation; he is equally at home in a Canadian forest or in the vast sand dunes of Namibia and equally at ease investigating the meanings of the symbols in his dreams or in his art. Freeman believes that the ability of human beings to be creative depends fundamentally on the health and well-being of the few kilometres of air, water, and soil that surround our planet like the skin of an apple, that they are the physical and spiritual bases of our lives, the source of materials and tools that enable us to express our responses to questions and feelings about ultimate things. Creation and creativity are inextricably linked.

MARGARET WOODSON NEA of Virginia, is a photographer, teacher, and speaker whose photography has taken her to over 20 developing nations around the world. Her images of women, children, and the natural world have been exhibited nationally and internationally. Moved particularly by the eyes of children, she has authored two photographic books, CHILDREN: Gifts of the Spirit and CHILDREN: Eyes of the Soul. The focus of her Master’s Degree was “Art and the Spiritual.” A Haden Institute of Spiritual Direction graduate, she believes in Carl Jung’s philosophy that “dreams and photographs are messengers of the unconscious.” With her clients, she works with dreams and photographic images as portals to the sacred. For the past 25 years, she has been a member of a weekly dream group. Knowing dreams to be a rich source of wisdom, they continue to attend dream conferences with teachers, including Jeremy Taylor, Alan Jones, Jerry Wright, and Marion Woodman. Also, she has been on numerous pilgrimages. In Peru and India, she discovered the richness of ancient holy traditions. Through the thin places of Iona and Ireland, she found that, in the beliefs of Celtic spirituality, there is sacredness in all of creation.
