About

Elizabeth Peterson is a spiritual director, spiritual direction supervisor, yoga instructor, retreat facilitator, and co-director of Deep Calls to Deep: Spiritual Direction Training and Formation at Whitworth University. Elizabeth seeks to create safe and sacred spaces for individuals and groups to reflect on their own lives, become more aware of God’s presence, and live from their truest identity as Beloved.

While rooted in the Christian tradition, and a lover of Jesus, Elizabeth welcomes all who seek to explore (or even to question) God’s love. As a yoga instructor and gardener, Elizabeth believes in the healing power of being present in our bodies and connecting with creation. 

Elizabeth is married to Eric, and together they share a beautiful blend of six young-adult children. She and Eric live in the woods north of Spokane, WA with their three teenagers and their yellow lab, Samson.
