Tending Wildness Within & Without
Aram lives with his wife and daughter in a house that is shaded by a great big oak tree. He has a coaching practice that supports people to slow down and get clear on what they want, then take playful and purposeful steps toward living out their vision for a thriving life. He writes and teaches regularly about spiritual formation. And he serves part-time as the pastor of Edgecomb Community Church in Maine.
Aram is also a wilderness guide, taking people to places where encounters with wildness and experiences of formation flow together. He guides in the backcountry, in forests and canyons, along coasts and rivers. And he guides people to the metaphorical confluence of wildness and formation in houses of worship, classrooms, board rooms, and living rooms.
Aram is a Registered Maine Guide and Wilderness First Responder. He has a Master of Arts degree in Religious Studies from Chicago Theological Seminary. And he is a student of ontological coaching with the Academy for Coaching Excellence.

Whether you are a long-time friend or new to ChIME, come celebrate this unfolding chapter with us, where art, spirit, and community meet in love.

What does Ordination mean to me?
Over the last 23 years, ChIME has Ordained over 225 Interfaith Ministers. That’s a lot of people serving their communities with attention to spiritual presence, integrity, and prophetic voice!
In this Open House, 4 newly Ordained Interfaith Ministers from the class of 2025 will share what Ordination means to them and how their time at ChIME prepared them for the service emerging on their horizons.
