Coming home to our beloved selves
Hi, I’m Jen!
After a season of burnout and exhaustion, I realized that my way of life was unsustainable. That realization led me down a pathway where I learned a new way of being with God, others, and myself. Over fifteen years later, I find this work vital in a world that constantly demands chaos, exhaustion, and disconnection. I am delighted to create space for others to return home to their beloved selves and embody a different way of living with God.

Pilgrimage in Place: Springtime
Say hello to spring with a nature walk into this new season.
This unique pilgrimage experience will invite you to bear witness to the change of seasons by walking in and engaging with nature.
Your Guides:
Janet McElvaine: Born and raised in western Montana, Janet has continued her long and beloved relationship with nature and the land in Snohomish since 1998. She and her husband, Lee, are becoming “citizen scientists,” trained by curious first graders during field trips to their pond and forest habitats each spring. As a licensed mental health counselor, Janet appreciates God’s gifts of nature and enjoys expanding emotional and spiritual well-being in this context.
Jen Manglos: As a spiritual director, pastor, & pilgrimage guide, Jen Manglos provides care and support for the worn out, wanderers, and wonderers. Her first Camino in 2018 shook up her nice and normal life, eventually leading to her offering guidance & support for folks on pilgrimage. She currently resides in Seattle where she is enjoying that PNW life.
