Dr. Craig Irvine is Co-Founder of the Division of Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. He has been teaching and leading workshops for health professionals, artists, and others for most of his professional life. In 2020, he and his husband moved from New York City to Brattleboro, where, in addition to continuing to work part-time, they enjoy walking, playing tennis, reading, spoiling their dog Lucy, providing a refuge for city friends, contemplating the wonders of nature, and participating in the vibrant community that is St. Michael’s Episcopal parish. Craig was a member of a Benedictine monastery for four years in his early 20s, an experience that still informs his desire to participate in and support the spiritual life of faith communities. He is particularly interested in opening space for sharing and attending to the stories that shape and convey the meaning of our spiritual lives.
