About Me

Ashley W: I am a recorded Quaker minister and a lawyer, originally from Anchorage and currently living in Atlanta. I share an apartment with two orange cats. I am a member of Freedom Friends Church and a sojourning member of Atlanta Friends Meeting. I am also a graduate of the School of the Spirit Ministry's program On Being a Spiritual Nurturer, class of 2011, working toward an M.Div. at Candler School of Theology. In addition to reading and writing, I enjoy a good laugh, running, yoga, knitting, and singing.
