Roger TannerThies is a retired university professor.  He had training and then led human relations groups in personal growth, group dynamics and experiential education.  Roger is a trained massage therapist and Rolfer.  More recently he was trained in family mediation and does co-mediation with Nancy.          

 Roger grew up in the Northeast and was educated at Bates College, Harvard University and The Rockefeller University.  He taught physiology to medical students and other health professionals in the United States and around the world. 

 Roger’s interest in science came from a love of nature and the out-of-doors.  His personal spirituality grows out of awe for God’s creation.

Sharing the Gardens of Sapattu

Nancy TannerThies is ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and has experience in local congregations and in congregational oversight.   She is a trained interim specialist, family mediator and educator.

 Nancy’s educational background includes a Bachelor of Science from the University of Houston, a Masters in Religious Studies and a Doctor of Ministry from the University of Chicago. 

 Perhaps more important than her academic credentials or her work experience is Nancy’s long time commitment to her own spiritual journey.  She considers “dwelling in the presence of the Divine” to be the major focus of her life.  Seeking ways to more fully experience that possibility, she has also taught about spiritual well being in a variety of settings.
