About Tom Esakin, Anneke Rees, and the Labyrinth Guild of St. Paul’s Anglican Church

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tom Esakin is formally-trained as an interfaith spiritual companion / director through the Jubilee Associates in Canada, is the interfaith spiritual director for the Julian of Norwich Ministry in Spiritual Companioning at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Vancouver, and offers spiritual supports through Reflective Presence. His life has unexpectedly come to frequently encounter death (whether of friends, family, or acquaintances) and this has spawned for him an interest in death. This includes his learning about ‘death doulas’ and his completing courses in "Making Peace with Death and Dying" and "Sacred Presence with the Dying."  Tom is a member of SDI-Spiritual Directors International.

 

Anneke Rees holds 30 years of experience in the health care system, including as a palliative care paid-trainer and volunteer, and also on staff as a former Leader of Volunteer Resources for Providence Health Care - St. Paul's Hospital. She is currently a member of the Canadian College of Health Leaders and a coach in their Executive Mentorship Program, and offers professional supports in hospice care.

 

The Labyrinth Guild of St. Paul’s Anglican Church helps facilitate & support the workings of the church’s permanent labyrinth, which is a full 13-metre replica of the medieval labyrinth laid in the stone floor of the 13th-century Cathédrale de Notre-Dame de Chartres, 80Km south of Paris, France and became the first permanent indoor labyrinth in Canada. The volunteer supports the Labyrinth Guild provides to St. Paul’s Anglican Church include providing education & training in labyrinths and the many ways to walk them.
