I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world…  -Rilke

Pamela Dintaman lives in the Sonoran Desert near Tucson Arizona. She describes a pastoral guide as one who listens carefully to another, serving as a midwife/companion alongside someone’s life journey.

 I value asking open-ended questions, helping people reflect on their lives. I like being part of releasing people’s gifts and energies. The word evoking describes my area of giftedness, calling forth what is there but may be hidden.
