Meet Your Instructor,
Osheta Moore

Osheta Moore is a trained spiritual director living on Dakota land in Saint Paul, MN. She is an appointed Moravian pastor; she and her husband shepherd a community of “misfits on a mission, finding our identity in Jesus” called Roots Moravian Church. Osheta has authored two books, Shalom Sistas and Dear White Peacemakers. In her writing she calls us to own our Belovedness and proclaim the Belovedness of others (especially those marginalized and harmed by oppressive systems), so we can become genuine expressions of the Beloved Community right where we are. As a spiritual director, she carves out gentle, loving spaces for quiet and listening inspired by her favorite theologian, Howard Thurman: “In the stillness of quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair.”
