ABOUT ME

Rev. Annalouiza Armendariz
The path I have walked to be equipped to support others in this life has been filled with joy, grief, loneliness and curiosity. I am a child of Mexican Immigrants who set their roots in Loveland, Colorado. My initial religious life was informed by conservative Pentecostalism. Although it is not a faith tradition that I continued in, I value the time in church singing and learning how to petition God.
​
​It is in weaving song and longing that I came to recognize that my relationship with The Divine is just like any other relationship: we hone our communication so there are times when I ask for affirmation and other times when we can mourn together. Sometimes I am quiet and simply sit still and listen for the Mystery, and other times I sing and give thanks for the beauty in my life.

Herbalism

Herbalism was where Spirit awakened me. I went from looking for The Divine in old fusty buildings, to engaging the Mystery in the Land.

Herbal training brought me to an ancient wisdom that served and supported people in acute crisis or end of life by offering plant medicine, ceremony, ritual and sacred listening.

Seminary

In 2021 I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister through the Interfaith Chaplaincy Institute of Berkeley. 

I since have been serving people as an Interfaith Spiritual Director. My purpose as a Spiritual Director is to guide those who are seeking a relationship with the Divine, not to convert or belittle.
