The Rev. Danae Ashley has been in the sacred work of connecting—connecting people to their deepest selves, to each other, and to the Divine.

As an Episcopal priest since 2008, she has led spiritual retreats, given sermons that moved hearts, and discovered that people consistently fall in love with her voice. “I could listen to you all day,” they’d say. “You make every story come alive.”

Her path led her to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, graduating from Adler Graduate School in 2014. She has done the following:

  • Spent twelve years in Jungian analysis
  • Trained in the Mandala Assessment Research Instrument
  • Created programs like Clergy Care Circles to support those who care for others’ souls.

Through spiritual direction using art, music, drama, poetry, and movement, she learned that stories—whether spoken, written, or lived—have the power to heal and transform.

Now, she brings all of this experience to her work as an author and voice artist. Her debut book, My Sap Is Rising, weaves together ancient wisdom and modern psychology on a pilgrimage toward wholeness. Her voice work brings warmth, depth, and authenticity to projects ranging from commercials to audiobooks to meditative recordings.

At the heart of it all, she remains what she has always been: a catalyst of connection, helping others find their way home to themselves.

Northlake Lutheran Church ELCA

Northlake Lutheran Church (ELCA)

At Northlake Lutheran, we believe we are called into a life of love—loving God with our whole hearts, minds, and strength, and extending that same love outward to our neighbors, our community, and the world around us. This calling is not rooted in obligation, but in the abundance of God’s love that first meets us.

We trust that all people, though we may miss the mark, are held fully in God’s grace. This grace is not something we earn or achieve—it is a gift, freely given and endlessly offered. There is nothing you need to prove to receive it, and nothing that can separate you from it.

In Jesus, God chose to draw near to humanity—to share in our lives, our struggles, and our suffering.

Through his life, death, and resurrection, we see the depth of God’s love made visible: a love that meets us where we are and holds us with compassion, dignity, and care.

We receive this grace through faith, trusting in a love that continues to shape us. Even as we navigate the tension of being human and sometimes missing the mark, we believe the Spirit is at work within us—guiding, restoring, and renewing. Rooted in this grace, we are freed to live with gratitude, to act with love, and to participate in the healing of the world.

Church of the Redeemer

Welcome to Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.

Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. We are a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
