Meet Your Spiritual Director, Liz Angeli, PhD

I grew up Catholic, loving the ritual elements of mass, like singing, playing handbells, offering the sign of peace, and eating donuts after mass. But over the years, my spirituality grew to be too big for one religious tradition. And when I came out as lesbian, I struggled to be part of the Catholic tradition I’d known my whole life.

That’s why I created Lumin Living to be something I’d needed for myself: A space that offered a range of transformational, soul-level experiences that went deeper than counseling – and was more inclusive than traditional religion.

Some other things you should know about my work:

  • My PhD is in rhetoric, writing, and technical communication from Purdue University. I was a leading expert in prehospital communication, and I consulted with fire departments and EMS agencies to improve report writing education before switching paths into spiritual direction. My full CV is available online.

  • I earned my spiritual direction certificate from the Siena Retreat Center’s two-year training program. Based in the Universe Story and inclusive spirituality, it involved peer supervision, practicum, and integration work.

  • For 16 years, I was taught by the School Sisters of St. Francis and the Jesuits. Their commitment to community, integrating different wisdom traditions into their practice, and living for a mission appealed to me. St. Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises and art of discernment spoke to my soul.
