Lucy A. Wachter Webb

Rev. Lucy A. Waechter Webb (she/her) is a politicized faith leader & organizer, somatic coach, writer and ritualist working at the intersections of spirit, body and anti-oppression to support the emergence of our collective liberation. She believes the work of engaging our spiritual life is not so very different from engaging in our shared public (political) life. After ten years as a pastor, she is now focused on engaging other racialized-white people in anti-racism practice, as she is always deepening her own.
She is a part of rural community on Anishinaabek land (otherwise known as Northern Michigan). She considers the trees, her children and the practice of tending the land to be some of her best teachers. You can connect with Lucy at: www.lucyappel.com or @lucyappel on IG and Facebook.
