Monica is the founder and a Supervisor Trainer with The Anchorage Collective. She is also a faculty member of Morling College and Lead Pastor with Living Grace Dianella. She is an ordained minister with Churches of Christ and has 39 years experience working with people in church, not for profit and education contexts.

Dr Rosemary Dewerse
Rosemary is a practical theologian whose own reflective practice has been and continues to take her on a journey through worldview change as a result of living and working in different cultures than her own, and particularly with indigenous elders – Māori in Aotearoa NZ, and Adnyamathanha and Kukabrak Ngarrindjeri in South Australia. Recent experience and training in Regenerative Development is offering complementary possibilities for wholistic, co-creating, reflexive practice focused on community flourishing.
