New Abbey Team Member ~ Welcome Delaney Hart!

We are delighted to introduce the newest member to our Abbey of the Arts team. Delaney Hart (she/her), sister to Wisdom Council member Cassidhe Hart, is joining us from Illinois. To begin, her work will focus on increasing the accessibility of our self-study retreats through transcripts and closed captions for select videos, and creating reflection guides for some of Christine’s books.

The guide for A Midwinter God: Encountering the Divine in Seasons of Darkness is available now.

Meet Delaney

Squirrels and trees, music and dance, curiosity and tears — these are Delaney’s teachers and guides. While listening for the inherent wisdom of the world around her, Delaney also believes in listening to wisdom within and strives to honor the intersectionality of spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Some of Delaney’s favorite ways of cultivating balance and joy in her life are jig-saw puzzling, practicing yoga, playing games with family, and journaling. She’s long engaged with the materials of Abbey of the Arts and is delighted to now be one of the supporters of the Abbey’s work.

Please join me in welcoming Delaney to our Abbey team!
