Rev. Dr. Wendy Hunter Roberts is an ordained Protestant minister, coach and counselor, author, and group facilitator. Hunter, as her friends call her, has been working on the intersection of politics, psychology, art, and spirituality for more than twenty-five years as a group leader, speaker and author. She has worked under and been mentored by some of the great luminaries of the 20th Century, including Dr. William Swartley (himself personally taught by C.G. Jung at the Jung Institute), R.D. Laing, Joanna Macy and more, completing her doctoral studies at the Graduate Theological Union of Berkeley in Religion and Spirituality in the Post-Modern world.
After studying Jungian, Reichian, humanistic, task focused, sensitivity and emotive group work in New York and London, and completing her M.S.W. at SUNY Stonybrook, she spent a year and a half traveling the back roads of Eastern and Western Europe, an experience which altered her worldview forever, eventually influencing her move to Europe in 2010.
Hunter has taught and spoken widely on sexual politics, brain sex, post-modern and ancient religion, ritual, symbol and mythology, and the new masculine and feminine polarity, in San Francisco, Budapest and Barcelona, done original research on the ancient goddess in Syria and Egypt, and preached in a small village outside Soweto, South Africa. She is known for her work in the field of creative mythology. She has written and taught in the academic and secular worlds, from the American Academy of Religion, to creating and presiding at public rituals featured in the LA Times and sponsored by the City of Berkeley. She has authored a book and various publications on women and ritual. Known as a spiritual pundit, her sassy commentaries have been heard on WHMP Radio in Massachusetts and published in the HUFFINGTON POST. She is currently working on a series of essays on post-modern values, called TRAVEL GUIDE TO THE END OF THE WORLD.
