Ernest Morrow (he/him)

Ernest is a spritual director, teacher and an Anglican priest.  Before there was the Emmaus Community (or AbbeyChurch) Ernest formed the Community of the Reconciliation, which was a contemplative precursor to Emmaus.

Ernest has benefitted greatly from many traditions, lineages and many kind and generous teachers over the years. Also from some unkind and non-generous ones as well. His gratitude is to every one of them.

He says: "I am passionate about the ways in which human beings contact their own truth and beauty in an experiential, every-cell-of-your-body way because that is what I have most needed to learn for myself to make life worth living. I have emerged out of the smoke and ashes of life in this world – generational family dysfunction, deep loss, broken dreams, failed relationships – as a mentor and guide for those brave souls who have chosen to wake up in the midst of it all."

Ernest's greatest teachers are his children. Their brave decision to allow his to be their father has catalyzed more healing and awakening and hunger for freedom and truth and love than I ever could have imagined. 

He acknowledges his education which he can only hope was as much a help as a hindrance. A Masters of Divinity from the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. Association Montessori Internationale certificate in primary education. Bachelor of Science in Biology and Philosophy.
