Kuhwald is an ordained Unitarian Universalist minister (retired), spiritual director, transformational coach, elder circle facilitator, and an activist focused on anti-racism, climate change, and low-wage workers’ rights. He spent 23 years as a high school special-education teacher and then trained as a psychotherapist in 1985, after which he worked in community, hospital, and private settings. Kurt has facilitated the Work That Reconnects and has worked with the Anti-Oppression Resource Group to bring oppression, power, and privilege issues into the community of WTR. While engaging in this work in the world, Kurt has honed his capacity to support individuals and groups to walk onto that ground where the intersection of care for the world meets inner liberation. He lives in Oakland, CA.
