Leslie’s many music trips to Assisi, Italy and her own personal loss led to her discovery of contemplative Christianity, and the teachings of the desert fathers. Her series “Saturday Spaces,”  helps women connect more deeply with the Holy Spirit through practices of meditation, journaling, art, and contemplation in nature. In collaboration with the Saving Space Collective, LLC, she wrote the music for and recorded Float, a meditation now used in conjunction with the small group facilitator’s workbook for David Benner’s Surrender to Love. 

A composer, clarinetist, and recording artist, her original works available on Spotify, Apple Music and other major platforms. Leslie is a ITSA (International Sound Therapy Association) certified sound healing practitioner, and Christian-adapted Reiki Master who specializes in mindfulness and meditation to help women improve mental and emotional wellness.

Her mission is to synthesize her musical gifts and life experience to help others attune to the Holy Spirit and move from spiritual knowledge to experience. 

Judy McCreary

My kids and I made the move up to Alaska a couple of years ago after my husband Pete was killed by a distracted driver. As I worked through unbearable grief, I eventually realized I would just stay the same, or I could decide to find a way to a life I could love again. I am now trained in grief recovery and post-traumatic growth. I am also an IPEC-certified Life Coach, committed to empowering others to respond to the integration of life, the reconciliation of our experiences, so we can show up with strength in who God has created us to be.
