“Beginner’s Mind”

We’ll explore the Zen Buddhist practice of Beginner’s Mind and the ways it can add new dimensions of meaning and wellbeing to daily life.

Speaker; Rev Eve Stevens

Eve grew up in the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Clemson, SC where she discovered her love of congregational life and began to consider ministry. She ventured to upstate New York for college, studied history and met her husband, Steve. Next was New York City next where Eve studied social ethics and pastoral counseling at Union Theological Seminary. Once ordained, Eve served as a minister for four years each at the UU Church of Utica, NY and the UU Community of Charlotte, NC.

She went on hiatus from full time ministry after welcoming her second child and spent a year earning a certification in Health & Wellbeing Coaching from Duke University while enjoying longer hours with her kids, six-year-old Ethan and four-year old Hank. Eve now works as a Health Coach at Waterleaf Naturopathic Medicine in Asheville. You can check out her blog here: https://www.anatomyofchange.life
