Janice MacLean is host of The Prayer Bench, an online ministry offering ordinary mystics resources to deepen spirituality. She actually has a wooden prayer bench she took home in a backpack after working with the Iona Community in Scotland. Over a life-time, Janice is grateful for the many vocational experiences she now carries in her heart. Each one worked to broaden and deepen her spirituality. Janice recently retired from part-time pastoral ministry and moved to Cape Breton with her partner. Her passion in ministry is rooted in sharing the contemplative wisdom tradition.
