Mi Casita, Tres Piedras

Rachel Wheeler considers herself a heritage keeper of the Christian desert tradition. Deeply formed by its wisdom stories, she brings training in Christian spirituality, ecopsychology, and ecotherapy to her reading and use of these ancient sources. Currently she works as Associate Professor at the University of Portland (Oregon) where she teaches classes in ecospirituality, ecology and religion, and spirituality and the arts. She is author of Desert Daughters, Desert Sons: Rethinking the Christian Desert Tradition, Ecospirituality: An Introduction, and Radical Kinship: A Christian Ecospirituality. As a practicing Christian, she believes part of her heritage-keeping to involve imagining new ways Christianity can repair the damage occasioned in its name through centuries of imperialism, colonialism, and sexism.
