Facilitators
Don and Ouida are both ordained, spiritual directors and supervisors with eclectic backgrounds in business, pastoral ministry, leadership, and the creative arts.
Don Craw is a founding partner of Transformative Sacred Dialogues, a spiritual director/supervisor, ordained pastor, reconciliation coach and entrepreneur.
Following 25 years, as a banker and financial broker, Don’s ministry experience since 1998 includes small groups, discipleship, pastoral care, leadership training, church planting and coaching churches in need of reconciliation and a renewed vision. Since 2012, Don has focused on providing spiritual direction/supervision and creative group formation exercises/partnerships for individuals, churches, denominations, Christian organizations and missions through one on one sessions, teaching modules, workshops and online discussions.
As an agent of change in business and ministry, Don’s relational character, willingness to always be present and commitment to engage in sacred dialogues has provided creative solutions to complex situations. These results are invaluable to individuals and organizations discerning the next step in their relationship with Christ and what needs to be developed to manage the way forward.
Ouida Pihulyk is a founding partner of Transformative Sacred Dialogues, a spiritual director/supervisor, ordained pastor, expressive arts practitioner, adult educator and retired registered psychotherapist.
Following 20 years in the financial sector, in 2008 Ouida entered into Ministry together with her husband, Marshall co-pastoring at a Toronto inner-city Church.
As an active contemplative, she believes we are spiritually transformed by the word of God holistically – body, mind, and spirit. From this focus, she provides consultancy, workshops and retreat facilitation to spiritual directors, soul care practitioners, clinicians and others in ministry leadership.
Ouida’s guided engagements always include surprisingly creative and imaginative ways to discern God’s heart in our everyday lives.
