Meet Samantha

An interspiritual scholar-practitioner, Samantha carries a deep passion for her work. She received her Bachelor's degree from the University of WI–Stevens Point in English and Philosophy with an emphasis in Religious Studies and went on to earn her Master's Degree in Contemplative Religions, under the supervision of Netanel Miles-Yépez, from Naropa University in Boulder, CO. She continues to work closely with Netanel in her role supporting the Charis Foundation for New Monasticism and Interspirituality.

Becoming a certified yoga instructor in 2013, Samantha’s teaching style focuses on gently expanding, and lengthening with special attention to alignment and balance. Her more recent training as a Reiki Master and Angelic Practitioner accompanies her intellectual studies of spirituality, openness and balance adding to her toolbox of healing to those she works with. In addition to facilitating a variety of circles and classes, she finds great joy in her more intimate work to help create ceremonies and rituals.

Samantha also believes in peer-to-peer support, where she brings a background of administration and support to those she works with, having supported CEOs and Presidents in various fields, including contemplative focused non-profits, executive coaching, and public and private universities. She refers to this part of her work as spiritual administration—bringing mindfulness into the mundane of databases and paperwork.
