Bio


Ashley considers her introduction into contemplative spirituality through direction as something like a second conversion. Through the practice of direction, she became aware of how intimately Jesus desires to be near through his Holy Spirit and that awareness made an indelible mark on her life, faith, and practice. Ashley desires to offer the same kind of companionship so others, especially people of color, can learn to discern the small and steady movements of God. Ashley received her certification in Spiritual Direction from LTI’s Selah program and has worked in local church and parachurch settings for the last decade.

Mitzi Mak

Selah-West Faculty & Emmaus Faculty

Mitzi started her professional life as a high school social studies teacher. She and her husband Jerry then served cross-culturally for ten+ years, living abroad first in India and then Kurdistan, N. Iraq. In addition to being a Spiritual Director, she now serves as a Formation and Care pastor in her local church in Houston, TX. She has graduated from LTI’s Selah Spiritual Direction training as well as LTI’s Emmaus Formational Leadership Program.

Mitzi enjoys engaging conversation, reading fiction, doing jigsaw/crossword puzzles, ocean gazing and exploring the world with Jerry through food and travel.

God has two main callings in Mitzi’s life: to care for those who care for others and to be a guide in helping others have a healthy relationship with the Trinity – recognizing God’s loving presence and activity in their lives and how to faithfully respond.

Selah was a transformative experience for me – allowing the contemplative within to emerge and to beautifully co-exist with my extraverted personality.
