Rev. Cathy Bristow
Rev. Cathy Bristow has a background as a business leader with responsibilities including contract negotiations, human resources, and quality process control.

These experiences led to her co-creating courses for a diversity certification at Cornell University School of Labor Relations. Believing there was a spiritual foundation for her dialogue model, she became an ordained interfaith interspiritual minister through One Spirit Learning Alliance, where she remains active in their anti-racism initiative. In her Harlem community she has offered free workshops and seminars on contemplative practices to heal the wounds caused by oppression. She completed the requirements for Doctor of Ministry from Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity Seminary, where her demonstration project researched the healing and spiritual power of storytelling circles for Black women.
