Board Members
Anne Bonney
I am one of the Co-founders of Center for the Spiritual Journey, an Interspiritual Life Center of Cape Cod. I am a person who longs to deepen my connection with the Divine Presence and who values the companionship with others in a beloved community—a community who also yearns for a less violent, more loving, and compassionate world. I believe this is the urgent work of our times. Indeed, it is our mission.
I love to travel and helped to lead our Pilgrimages to Iona and Santa Fe. I find that the outward physical journey of a pilgrimage encourages the unfolding of our inner landscapes. I love to study and explore the larger questions that live inside of me—questions that have sent me to Seminary and a Master of Divinity Degree, on to Ordination and into Christian Ministry. I love the Labyrinth. In 2012, I partnered with Dawn Tolley and Kathe Rhinesmith and the local Clergy Association in building and gifting the town of Chatham with a labyrinth for its 300th Anniversary! I am an Advanced Veriditas Trained Labyrinth Facilitator and am currently serving as a Faculty member and a Board member of Veriditas, the non-profit spiritual and educational organization for the Labyrinth. Through Center for the Spiritual Journey and Veriditas I am so grateful to have an opportunity to teach others, and to be able to express these passions that light up my life. I am blessed with glimpses of the deeper Divine connection my spirit seeks, that the world seeks, —a Love that we so desperately need, a Love that unifies all paths and affirms our essential oneness.

Rich Hunt
Rich Hunt has always been interested in the mind: how it works, how it shapes our experience, and how we can use it to diminish suffering. This led him to study psychology in school, and to read books about spirituality and metaphysics outside of school. Following these paths, Rich obtained a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and practiced as a psychotherapist for 30+ years; he also moved from a rather intellectual interest in spirituality to practicing meditation and engaging in inquiry as a means to actualize some of the things that he had been reading about for many years. Rich retired from the practice of psychotherapy in 2011; he still aspires to help people find greater peace, greater contentment, and greater wisdom within themselves. “God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.” – Voltaire

Tricia Kibbe

After finding the sacred meditation path of the labyrinth and becoming a Veriditas facilitator, her life journey dramatically changed. In 2001 she became a Founder and the Director of the Labyrinth Guild of New England, a small non-profit organization created to teach the history of the labyrinth and its uses now and in the past. From 1999 to 2019 she led a yearly Women’s pilgrimage to Chartres, France to visit the Cathedral, walk its labyrinth and experience being in a group of women in a sacred circle of sharing.

Dawn Tolley
Dawn Tolley is a co-founder of the Center for the Spiritual Journey, and currently serves on the Board of Directors as Clerk. She spent over 20 years as a leader of a local non-profit, community activist and volunteer. She is also a certified professional coach. Dawn’s passion is experiencing life as a spiritual journey – a sacred journey, and a sacred responsibility. All the great spiritual and wisdom traditions teach us, as well as science, that all of life is interconnected. To invite people into this space to explore their inner and outer world; to become more self-aware, to heal and to take that out into our community, is a sacred privilege and responsibility. It is said, ‘The spiritual life does not remove us from the world but leads us deeper into it.’ Now more than ever, we are being called forth to do the work of transforming ourselves… transforming our world”. Please join us, we need you, the world needs you!
