About Kym

Kym is a gentle, wise, and grounded soul who lives and plays alongside her family on Dharawal Country in southern Sydney. With a deep respect for the spirituality of Aboriginal peoples, she is gently integrating indigenous ways of knowing and being into her practice. Often lost in thought and wonder, digging down into new perspectives, she finds refreshment walking, swimming, and paddling in the waterways and national parks of the Shire.

With a background in Social Work, Kym spent over two decades in local pastoral ministry, while also serving in community roles including School Chaplaincy, Women’s Homelessness Services, and Foster Care. She holds formal qualifications in Social Work (BA, UNSW), Pastoral Theology (MA, ACOM), Professional Supervision (Grad Cert, St Mark’s), Leadership (Grad Cert, Sydney College of Divinity), and has recently completed her formation as a Spiritual Director through Listen Into Life (Barnabas Ministries),  a contemplative, ecumenical program within the Christian tradition. 

Kym now shares her time between the Network Resourcing Team of Churches of Christ NSW & ACT, resourcing leaders and churches, and her private practice, Slow Wild Spirituality, where she offers companioning, ceremony and circles. She is a member of the Australian Ecumenical Council for Spiritual Direction, working to see the flourishing of Spiritual Direction in Australia.

She co-leads The Round Community, who gather around an open table to listen deeply, share generously, and encounter the divine in one another and the world. They practice community, radical inclusion, and the self-giving love of God that calls them to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly on the earth.

Kym continues to be formed through relationship with a number of professional and spiritual communities, including:

• Australian Association of Supervision (AAOS)

• Australian Christian Mentoring Network

• Australian Network for Spiritual Direction (ANSD)

• Australian Ecumenical Council for Spiritual Direction (AECSD)

• The Centre for Action and Contemplation (CAC)

• The Round Community

• churches of Christ NSW & ACT

• Oasis Communities
  

Drawing on her lived experience Kym is a well suited guide for women in Christian leadership, chaplaincy, and the helping professions and those navigating life’s thresholds, where doubt, disruption, and dissonance crack open sacred invitations.
