Writer/Coach/Spiritual Director
Ronna Detrick left the church and its dogma nearly twenty years ago but took the stories of women with her. Over the past two decades she has reimagined these sacred texts, peeled back centuries of patriarchal harm, and given the women within
the voice, agency, and honor they have always deserved. Ronna combines her Master of Divinity degree with decades of coaching and spiritual direction, training and public speaking, corporate leadership and entrepreneurship. She shocked and delighted her audience in her provocative TEDx presentation, where she turned the traditional biblical story of Eve on its head, challenged the embedded and assumed doctrine, and presented an Eve who inspires and empowers women instead of shaming and silencing them. After living most of her life in the Pacific Northwest,
she is now just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean in Hampstead, NC, where she writes, drinks strong coffee, has beautiful conversations with her clients, and cannot be dissuaded from the belief that her two daughters are the most amazing humans
on the planet.
