“Petrea facilitated our Catholic Education Office Spirituality Day ‘Living Hope – Hope and Healing for Ourselves and Community’. It was an exceptional day which addressed the challenges we can face in life personally and professionally. Her deep wisdom is an expression of her own journey and her gifted ability to walk with others in pain. The ‘Living Hope’ day connected authentically into the human experience. She shared and listened to stories with great presence, acceptance, humour and compassion. It moved us at the level of the heart and also provided a wonderful collection of practical tools to navigate this world in which we live.
Her insights reminded us of the value of responding to life rather than reacting, of bringing our best selves to challenging situations, of becoming mindful of our language and of prioritizing those activities that replenish us. Essentially it was a day to support us in living more consciously the life to which we aspire. Petrea commented, ‘Hope is not just an attitude. Hope has to have legs.’ Petrea certainly gave hope legs on this day.
Petrea is a gifted facilitator, story-teller and companion who engaged our community in a most profound way. It was a day that aligned so beautifully with the message of Jesus and God’s deep desire for us to live life to the full (John 10:10). We are so very grateful to both Petrea and her wonderful team who created this day with such sophistication and graciousness. We wish Petrea and the Quest for Life Foundation the very best in their vital and life-changing endeavour.”
