Join Hannah Rose Deacon and guest Juno Zavitz for an expansive conversation that ranges from the practical to the mystical; exploring spiritual understandings of addiction and sobriety, and human longing for union with the divine. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about how spirituality, healing and recovery, and Christian theology intersect.

Juno Zavitz (they/them) is a consultant, coach and facilitator for non-profits, workers in social services, and community members in caregiving roles. They have 10+ years experience in frontline and management work in addictions, harm reduction, housing, and bereavement, and most love working with people and teams moving through loss, burn out - communities that are in need of repair and solidarity. Their background in this work comes from formal education in social work and psychotherapy, chaplaincy, end of life care, and visual arts. Prior to consultancy work, they held numerous roles in social services, from counselling, frontline, program development & management, outreach, and psychoeducation on projects across Canada and the US. Outside of their work life, Juno is a full-time graduate student studying divinity, theology and psychospiritual therapy, and is currently in training as a priest within the Afro-Cuban tradition of Santeria.

They are a transmasculine person who additionally identifies as having lived experience as a former high-risk drug user, and who believes deeply in transformative justice models and right for all persons to access care.
