“Ron McClelland embodies a rare blend of the inward and outward life. He’s a brilliant, patient, and deeply wise spiritual director whose love of neighbor and commitment to the Jesus way of justice are woven into who he is. Whether you sit with him one on one, join an interactive workshop, or invite him to speak, I’m confident your time with Ron will be well worth the investment. My own life has been transformed through his friendship.”

SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR | RETREAT LEADER | THEATER PRACTIONER

I'm a spiritual director, and workshop/retreat leader with a unique background as a theater practitioner, professor, and pastor, which gives me a unique perspective and ability to work with diverse people in various vocations and environments.

I’m dedicated to the spiritual nurture & care of artists and creative people from all walks of life. By offering spiritual direction and creative workshops and classes, I create environments where people of diverse backgrounds and vocations can deepen their faith nurture their creativity, and find rest and rejuvenation through retreat.
