About Elizabeth Stamper
1972, Elizabeth began her spiritual journey and has been passionate ever since about exploring consciousness, meaning, the relief of suffering (personal and global), and the embodiment of joy. This path has taken her through years of deep meditation practice, hatha yoga, and the study of religion, mysticism and transpersonal psychology. A degree in Education was followed by a brief career as a second grade teacher and then the great blessing of being a stay-at-home mom to her three children for twelve years.
Elizabeth encountered breathwork (known then as rebirthing) and inner child work in her early 30’s. In 1994, she earned a Master's degree in counseling from NOVA Southeastern University. She has worked in a community mental health agency, a group practice specializing in recovery from addiction and codependency, a holistic healing center, and has been in private practice for 25 years. In 1996, Elizabeth trained in Reiki and energy work which affirmed and opened up even more the transformative power of working with many levels and many parts of a person. After an intensive three year seminary program at the Chaplaincy Institute of Interfaith Studies, Elizabeth was ordained as an Interfaith minister in March 2011.
Elizabeth has led seminars and retreats around the country, including an annual women’s retreat in the Blue Ridge mountains from 1998 to 2014. She has been a regular speaker and workshop leader at the spiritual centers around Florida. A strong believer in the importance of community, Elizabeth has been a part of various fellowships since she was nineteen, including ashrams, sanghas, churches, yoga and meditation groups, women’s circles, and interfaith groups. Elizabeth was given the “Heart of the Community” award by the Brevard Chapter of Conscious Living Partnership and a founding member of Brevard Interfaith Affiliations of Brevard (IFAB) in 2017 which later merged with two other local groups to become Interfaith United of Brevard.
