Gianluigi Gugliermetto
Gianluigi Gugliermetto (Ph.D. Claremont 2008) is an Episcopal priest and theologian. His interests span from interreligious dialogue to queer theology, and from rituals/liturgy to mystical experience. He is investigating at present the relationship between Creation Spirituality and Jungian thought and practice.

Cynthia Greb
Cynthia Greb is a writer, a speaker, and an interfaith minister. She has a background in hospice, having worked as both a chaplain and bereavement counselor. Cynthia is a bit of a spiritual nomad. Last year’s journey was six months long and included communion with sacred sites such as ancient earth mounds, as well as the much-needed task of offering prayers at “the wounded places,” especially places where First People have been massacred and where spirits may be at unrest. You can find out more by visiting her website: soulofcynthia.
Rosanna Tufts
Rosanna Tufts earned a Master of Music degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1985, performed for Baltimore-area churches and light-opera companies, and composed music for musical-theatre. She has been a Nature Mystic for almost 40 years, was Con Chair for Ecumenicon in DC, President of a local Toastmasters club, and first learned of, and cited, Matthew Fox’s work when defending her own faith against religiously reactionary in-laws. A recent cancer survivor now in remission, she has held a wide variety of corporate and academic positions, and does freelance work in podcasting, custom sewing, sound healing, and Vedic astrology.
IN MEMORIAM:
Drake Moore
provided stellar website technical support to the Matthew Fox team until his untimely death in August, 2025. With more than twenty-five years’ information technology experience, Drake ran his own independent consulting company, Magick Media. He was a husband and father, animal lover, and composer of music, who lived to expand his inner and outer knowledge. He is dearly missed.
Brian Nguyen
was the design mind behind the Daily Meditations blog. With over a decade of experience as a web, motion, and graphic designer, Brian ensured that the experience of reading this blog marries with the contemplative nature of our meditations.
