Saunia Powell
Saunia received a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Grinnell College, a Master of Theological Studies from Pacific School of Religion, and was on track to complete a Doctoral degree in Interdisciplinary Studies to combine her twin interests of art and religion, when Grief disrupted, and Chaplaincy entered the scene. What was to be a brief break from academia after her parents’ death in 2010, participating in CPE at the Napa-Solano Kaiser Hospitals under the supervision of John Jeffery, turned rather into a new pathway forward.
In the decade between 2010’s CPE experience and returning to CPE in 2020 to complete her 4 units with the Pacific Institute for Essential Conversations & CSCPF - she most definitely did not complete that PhD. But she has practiced chaplaincy in 2 hospices and 2 hospitals; led religious education programs for Unitarian Universalist congregations, a secular post-graduate international service program for her alma mater, and advance directive facilitation trainings for hospital and hospice staff; counseled the bereaved and midwifed grief rituals; and ran the State Department’s International Writing Program residencies.
2022 marks her entrance into PIEC’s Supervisory Educational Fellow program and she is thrilled to partner with such skilled facilitators and encouraging mentors in this work. In her spare time, she enjoys directing for the theatre and writing articles for the local arts magazine in her current home of Iowa City.
