Speaking Requests


I work with faith communities, pastoral leaders, parents, and educators and students of all levels. You can contact me to inquire about a speaking engagement or just to start a conversation at manninpa@shu.edu.

I am available for the following:

  • Workshops for educators and parishes on teaching methods that promote spiritual growth, mental health, meaning-making, and healthy relationships.
  • Consultations for schools and parishes: I can conduct an “audit” of the practices and culture of your school or parish and make recommendations for how your community can better promote learning, wellness, relationships, and spiritual growth.
  • Retreats for faculty, staff, parishioners, parents, and students/youth.
  • Presentations for students and parents on the Christian contemplative tradition, spirituality and mental health, Christian practices for technology, happiness and the Christian life, and more (just ask!)
