Healthy Seminarians-Healthy Church is dedicated to empowering discipleship within the church through strengthening the connection between body, mind, and spirit in communion with God, neighbor, and self.  Understanding our interconnectedness with all God’s creation is a vital part of worship and service and can inform our life choices.  Whether your congregation is already cultivating a deeper sense of connection or is wanting to develop new ways of engaging, we can accompany you on the journey.

Both Karen and Travis Webster are ordained ministers in the Presbyterian Church (USA) and are available (in-person and/or online) for preaching and teaching in your church and community on the topics of care for self, community, and creation.

Workshops, Retreats, and Panel Discussions

Karen and Travis have spoken extensively at churches, conferences, and in academic settings on a variety of topics, including the connection between spirituality and our food choices, creating more hospitable communities of faith, environmental stewardship, practices of self-care, motivation for movement, and wholeness.
