Meet the Facilitators
Joan Wright Howie
As a founding member of Good Supervision Matters, Joan brings experience as a Uniting Church minister, professional supervisor and spiritual director (B.A., B.Theol., M.A. Spirituality) She is currently serving on the Australasian Association of Supervisors (AAOS) Board. Joan has 18 years experience training spiritual directors and pastoral supervisors. She is currently working on a PhD research project exploring how to nurture spirituality in organisational contexts.
Fostering interior freedom is at the heart of Joan’s supervision practice. She seeks to provide hospitality to those she encounters in supervision to facilitate safe reflexive space to explore the dynamics of work contexts. Joan welcomes creative expression, dream work, focusing and embodied awareness in her accompaniment work. In the midst of family life, Joan loves walking on the beach and tending her garden.
Jo Sullivan
Jo is in private practice as a professional supervisor, Grad Dip Supervision (AAOS), a spiritual director, Grad Dip Spiritual Direction (CSD) with a Grad Cert in Bereavement
Counselling. Jo is a member of the academic team in the Graduate Diploma in Supervision at the University of Divinity, Melbourne and a member of Transforming Practices Inc.
Jo believes supervision is about enabling supervisees to find freedom in their work. As we support, collaborate and co create with supervisees, we too need to tend and grow our inner freedom. We also need to find spaces for reflection, environments that uplift and intentional practices that will nurture our freedom and reignite our passion for our work. Jo loves being in the country at this time in her life. Jo’s four children and six grandchildren remind her of what is important in life.
