Hello, I'm Linda Clark-Borre, and I'd like to offer a little insight about my journey. Several years ago, I retired from my work as a University professor in the College of Business at California State University, Chico. Before that, I was an executive within the vast field of pharmaceutical - biotechnology research, development and marketing. In those roles, I worked closely with organ transplant patients, including children, individual families, and organ donor organizations. I also worked with oncology patients, and those with other serious diseases. It was a privilege to be brought close to somany dealing with the uncertainties of illness, and to get to know the medical professionals who cared for them.
For decades, I continued my own studies in decidedly non-business topics. Business, I found, was not so difficult to figure out - but life certainly is.
I'm formally and clinically educated/certified in matters of theology, faith, comparative religion, and global wisdom traditions. (University of Chicago, The Spiritual Guidance Training Institute, and The Association for ACPE - Clinical Pastoral Education.) My background has afforded me the ability to simply be with others meaningfully - a good thing, as I have nothing, at all, to preach. I simply want wellness for others, and to support anyone on their journey to wholeness.
Today I serve as a Fire Service Chaplain and as an active member of Spiritual Directors International. I also volunteer with the Willow House Organization, which supports grieving children and their families. Its services are much needed, as no one can prepare us for devastation of grief; we learn from our own experiences, and from others willing to listen and to care.
