Adriene Nicastro

Adriene is a gentle spiritual healer and channel for Spirit, as well as an ordained minister, teacher, sensitive, and award-winning author. Her love of nature, art, animals, and spiritual development infuses her daily life and work with others. She guides individuals to awaken to their True Nature, cultivate inner peace, and develop spiritually through her nurturing, and sacredly-directed approach.

        Motivated by a desire to help individuals, Adriene began her work in 1991 at Hahnemann University through a graduate program in Group Psychotherapy and Group Process, but after 11 years working clinically with a wide range of children and adults that were faced with extremely challenging circumstances, she began to realize the limitations of the training she sharpened. Frustrated and disenchanted with the mental health system, she began reading more literature outside the typical fringes of Western psychology and dove into spiritual and metaphysical materials.

       In 2008 she was lead to the teachings of Sacred Garden Fellowship (SGF) and under the tutelage of Rev. Penny Donovan and Don Gilbert, MSW, in 2009 she began regularly attending monthly retreats; there she learned many levels of healing, as well as growing personally and spiritually with the healing and guidance of Rev. Penny and the many channeled Masters and inspirational teachers she brought to the group. Through immersive retreats and continued spiritual practice, she honed her psychic and channeling faculties, intuition, and spiritual healing, incorporating her learning into work with individuals and groups. She also played a pivotal role in retreat co-facilitation for SGF from 2014 - 2019. And in 2018 she became a Certified Spiritual Energy Healer and was ordained by Rev. Penny as a Minister of Spiritual Energy Healing, crystalizing years of dedicated learning, growth, and experience.

       Adriene believes that the work she does is a privilege and a gift, one that is highly inspirational and rewarding. After many years as a psycho-spiritual guide and therapist, she has dedicated her focus to be a channel for Spirit, Soul-level growth, cultivating inner peace, and living more wholeheartedly in tune with our Sacredness is what she endeavors to extend to others, as they walk the path of living their innermost Being.
