About the Architect
Hi there. My name is Dr. Christine Osgood. I began this project because I wanted a space that helps me - and others - hit refresh on our aim in life. After 25+ years in higher education, teaching psychology, spiritual formation, and counseling courses, I recognize that we need spaces and places that draw us back to our meaning and purpose for life.
Even though I'm the architect of TELOS and today, I am not the only person speaking into this project. Colleagues and friends continue to provide various levels of review and input. Thank you Chad, Kristi, Susan, Stephanie, Jo, Ben, Matt, Nicole, Heidi, Cathy, Ashley, Melissa, Kara, another dear Kristi and many more for offering your kind and helpful insights.
Below you will find a bit more information about me.
I also provide keynotes, workshops, and retreat facilitation. Inquiries can be directed to: contact@telosandtoday.com
