She is passionate about spiritual practices that sustain activism for the flourishing of people and our planet. Dori is the founder of Our Own Deep Wells: Awakening Soulful Practices for Wellbeing, a collective of faith leaders from across religious traditions working to broaden the mindfulness movement on college campuses to help address the mental health crisis. She is the author of numerous books at the intersection of leadership, faith formation, and young adult culture. Her most recent is Girl / Friend Theology: God Talk with Young People (revised edition releasing Fall 2023) which uses story-based theological reflection as a tool for combating gender oppression.
