Naomi Pryde has been living and working in Northern India and Northern Thailand for the past 10 years running Jesus devotional spaces and Ashrams. In these spaces of safety and questioning , the beauty of Christ is shared with spiritual wanderers, hippies and travellers through contemplative and monastic spiritual embodied practice.
Naomi was raised in Sydney in a strong evangelical/Anglican family, attended Sydney Missionary and Bible College and whilst always slightly rebellious, always embraced by the church.
Over the past 10 years Naomi’s faith has fallen apart, deepened and been refined by a number of experiences that have led her into the safe arms and mystery of her beautiful Jesus in which the certainty taught in her early Christian life began to unravel.
The spiritual life, more of a journey than a destination, has led her into wilderness spaces, in which the Spirit has nudged and stirred in her heart to get uncomfortable. She has been challenged to live a life of integrity, risk her belonging, lose her belonging and ultimately land into the safe arms of God and know into the depths of her soul that her identity is as beloved and chosen child of God.
Still living in Pai, Northern Thailand, and now Studying Spiritual Direction with Global Benedictine Monastery, Naomi is passionate about creating safe spaces for hippies, spiritual seekers and travellers to meet with God. In the past 3 years God has expanded that heart to also create safe spaces for those leaving church, kicked out of church, those feeling like they are in a spiritual free fall and those that no longer know where they belong.
