Speaking & Leading
Are you seeking a dynamic keynote speaker or retreat leader to inspire your community?
When I first felt the call to use my gifts of connection, empathy, and leadership as a priest, I hesitated, wondering if I was up to the challenge. I've always been drawn to stirring up holy trouble—preaching the gospel, questioning authority, and amplifying the voices of others. I knew God was calling me to a different kind of priesthood, one focused on collaboration and inspiring others to live out the radical love of Jesus.
I specialize in gathering community and creating transformative experiences that foster connection, vulnerability, and wholehearted living. Drawing on my background as a priest and Certified Daring Way Facilitator in the work of Brené Brown, I lead engaging keynotes and retreats that help groups live into their authenticity, find their Spark, connect with the Holy, and embrace their belovedness.
Retreat Leadership
Everyone yearns to have time away to reset their mind, body, and soul. I offer customized retreats that give participants the space to reset, reflect, and reconnect with their faith and purpose. From clergy quiet days to multi-day nourishment retreats, I guide groups through intentional practices that cultivate presence, creativity, and a deeper connection to God and one another. Whether you're looking for a half-day retreat or a full weekend experience, I create spaces that foster spiritual growth and renewal for individuals and boards.
Keynote Speaking
As a keynote speaker, I bring energy and depth to topics like burnout recovery, Finding Your Spark (vocational discernment), thriving in ministry, and wholehearted leadership. I’ve spoken at numerous events around the United States, including the Episcopal Communicators Conference, Kanuga Christian Formation Conference, and Episcopal Camps & Conference Centers Annual Conference.
I love guiding groups to live out the gospel and act with courage. Whether your event is in person or virtual, I’ll work with you to create a presentation that resonates deeply with your audience and sparks lasting transformation.
Stories of Transformation and Wholeheartedness

"Callie gave such a heartfelt and constructive talk as our keynote. Oftentimes as communicators we forget to change into our Mr. Rogers cardigan and loafers and disconnect for a minute. Sometimes it takes an outside voice to give us that permission like a guest speaker.”

"Callie is gifted at creating and holding space with her voice and words, prompts and long-enough reflection times, and brilliantly curated playlists. I came seeking clarity on a specific place I was feeling stuck. I got that clarity powerfully, as well as community and solitude, silence and laughter, rest and focus."

“Callie was the perfect speaker, who could speak directly to me, even though it was a room of about a hundred people.”
