Rev. Tina DeYoe of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Los Alamos will talk about healing during this Sunday's service.
"We pay attention to healing, our individual and collective healing. What does it mean to heal? According to Dr. Gabor Mate, "Healing is actually the capacity to hold pain". So then, what does it mean to hold pain and how do we hold and release pain? In this Sunday's service we will explore embodied practices that can help us cope with our pain," Rev. De Yoe said.
With a love of social justice and service, Rev. Tina De Yoe became an ordained Unitarian Universalist Minister in October 2023. She serves as the Minister Pro Tem for the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos.
Rev. De Yoe comes from a lineage of educators and ministers in the Presbyterian (USA) denomination. She received her BA in Religious Studies and Minor in Psychology from Presbyterian College in South Carolina. While in college in 2006, she studied Immigration Issues, Borderculture, Mexican History, Liberation Theology, Latin American History, and Spanish on the Border of the US/Mexico with the organization Borderlinks, in Tucson, AZ.
After college, Rev. De Yoe attended Princeton Theological Seminary and graduated in 2010 with a Master of Divinity. Upon graduation, she spent a year in Guatemala volunteering in a women's shelter, while learning Spanish and living with a Mayan family. After coming back to the US, she entered a year-long chaplain resident program at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
It was during this year that she first encountered Unitarian Universalism. She was immediately enthralled by the social activism she saw addressing immigration issues and the open support of the LGBTQ+ community. It was at the Unitarian Universalist congregation in Knoxville, TN that Rev. De Yoe found her faith home.
She moved to NM in 2014 for the Director of Lifespan Religious Education job in Los Alamos and now serves as their Minister. She loves hiking, traveling, camping, photography, cross stitch, singing and her cat Xena Warrior Princess and her dog Gnar.
All ages are welcome to attend the Sunday program.
