Mary Franklin is in formation as Benedictine monastic with St. Placid Priory.  While exploring the wisdom of mystics from many paths on her own journey, she has experience facilitating and supporting individuals and groups in discovering their connection to the Holy Spirit through encouragement of values that honor care for our Creator’s creation; empowerment as co-creators in building a more just and equitable society; and ways to expand healing and forgiveness in our world.
