She’s happy to brainstorm ideas for your next event.
What People Are Saying
Alicia lives and breathes at the conjunction of faith and learning. In the classroom, behind the pulpit, and as everyday scholar-saint, she winsomely communicates the practical wisdom of Christian disciplines for life in this world.
-Mark, Chaplain & Bible Department Chair, The Stony Brook School
While education tends to trend towards hyper-specialization, Alicia’s teaching runs the other way towards a knowing that is both embodied and relational. This is equally true in her speaking: her talks never forget that, at the end of the day, we are people who have to sleep and eat and get along with others. In short, she is a master teacher.
-Andrew, RUF Campus Pastor, Northwestern University
Alicia’s teaching served as a reminder of the need for beauty, movement, and stillness in the classroom.
-workshop participant
Alicia laid the foundation and then filled it all in with embodiment. Her use of personal illustrations was an excellent balance.
