Lydia's style and leadership is visionary, spiritual, personal, warm, creative, healing and nontraditional. She is a UCC Minister with a Masters Degree in social work, and she has studied Native American Spirituality. She has spent her whole life camping, canoeing, hiking and biking. Her years studying birds, wildflowers, plants and animals, is a powerful part of her love for and understanding of Nature and she seeks to share this with others.
Women's Healing Soul Groups & Wilderness Trips
Through her own healing journey to retrieve her soul, inner knowing, voice and power, Lydia has developed a method of personal healing and spiritual work, called Healing Soul Work, done in the small group setting. This is the Soul Group Ministry she offers at La Loba Ministries. As we retrieve our inner wisdom and do the inner spiritual work that is necessary to our wellbeing, we find our way to the Wild inside of us and the Wilderness outside in Nature. Lydia's love of Nature and wildlife and her own spiritual path led her to an Earth-based spirituality, which infuses all her work. She has developed the Wilderness Trips to Isle Royale in order to share this with other women.

Autobiography
Lydia Meyer is an ordained United Church of Christ minister who grew up a Quaker in New England and attended a Reformed Church of America seminary after working as a social worker for several years. For five years, Lydia pastured a UCC church in Michigan, where she lives with her husband and her two grown sons. Her knowledge of churches and organized religion come from her theological training and her experience as a minister in the church. Her personal spiritual journey has taught her much about the mystical and spiritual paths of several faith traditions, including Native American Spirituality.
Lydia has worked with people for over two decades doing, what she calls, "Healing Soul Work". She offers individual counseling and facilitates small group work. She developed the Soul Group Ministry that brings women together to support one another in a journey of the soul and retrieval of personal power and wellness. Lydia is a healer, an artist, a writer and a mystic who leads workshops, retreats and does public speaking. She is the director and founder of La Loba Ministries, a healing practice located in western Michigan.
Having spent her life taking trips out into the wilderness, camping, canoeing, hiking and biking, Lydia now leads wilderness trips for women which offer a spiritual experience to those who wish to connect with their own soul and with the spirituality of Nature. Her love of Nature is an integral part of her work. As an artist, Lydia uses many mediums to create and express from her soul. She has kept a journal since her childhood and now writes her first novel: Lillie's Redemption. (coming soon)
