Lynn Barwell

A passion for theology, interest in pedagogy and love for storytelling led Lynn Barwell to pursue a project-based MA in Theological Studies.  Drawing from a narrative approach under the supervision of Marie-France Dion, Lynn created a children’s story adapted from the Book of Joshua with an accompanying pedagogical guide for adapting Bible stories.

Lynn’s appetite for spiritual development and growth continued as she became certified as a Life Coach and accredited as an Ignatian Spiritual Director while teaching the Ethics and Religious Culture program for high school students at École Villa Sainte-Marcelline. 

She was also actively involved with Concordia’s Theological Studies Graduate Student Association and instrumental in producing and launching the 2014 Word in the World journal, New Beginnings.

Lynn is the Director of Formation Programming for the Ignatian Spirituality Centre of Montreal (ISCM) where she is responsible for training Ignatian Spiritual Directors and for developing Ignatian-based spirituality workshops for those interested in exploring how Ignatian spirituality can be extremely rewarding for personal growth.

Lynn also accompanies others in their spiritual life journey through her ongoing practice at the ISCM.
