Dr Petra has been passionately and tirelessly teaching and spreading Science of Mind for over 35 years. At the time Petra graduated from ministerial school in 1984, she was the youngest minister in our movement (age 24). She lives and breathes nothing but Science of Mind. While being radically inclusive, she does not waver in her commitment to our principles and teachings. She is steadfast in her conviction that we are a teaching, healing and practicing order. She is passionate about bringing science and spirituality together along with deep mysticism and practical psychology. It is very clear that her purpose is transformation and her mission is to grow people, communities and ideas.
Dr Petra is truly one of our most gifted teachers – her greatest gift, like Ernest Holmes, is the rare ability to make the complex, mystical, metaphysically challenging concepts accessible to people in everyday language.
