 Clyde
Glandon is a native Kansan; his wife, Shan, and he are parents to one
son, Andrew. He is an Episcopal clergyman, a graduate of the Pecos
Benedictine School of Spiritual Directors, and is the executive director
of The Center for Counseling and Education in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Clyde has led men’s
groups since 1988 (yes, they still drum), leads
clergy and therapists self-care groups, and teaches the Psychotherapy
and Spirituality series at the Center. He teaches Ignatian and contemplative
meditation.
He has recently rejoined
the Haiku Society of America, having originally joined in 1979. His
color landscape photography has appeared annually
in the Tulsa International Mayfest Invitational Gallery since 2000.
“For me, the
activities of psychotherapy, supervision, mentoring, poetry, and photography,
all have their dynamic source in spiritual practice. Ancient and contemporary
practitioners of particular spiritualities—Columcille, the author
of The Cloud of Unknowing, Basho, Francis, Martin Buber, Mother Theresa,
Thich NhatHanh— are spiritual realists who invite us to reality
through many paths. If spirit can benevolently deconstruct sacred religious
doctrine, it certainly can loosen and change our grip on haiku-dharma.” |
