JUNIPER MCKELVIE

ACTOR. WRITER.

FREELANCE NUN

Wait... What’s a freelance nun?

I’m a non-denominational peace teacher devoted to peace, not a system.

I fuse my 26 years of meditation experience with my actor training to teach the tools of peace to individuals and groups of any or no religion. It’s about finding what works for you, not upholding dogma.

I started my production company, Pause for Peace, LLC, so that I could share unique, peaceful content with a global audience. Join us!

Peace - delivered to you

How can we experience inner peace in daily life? Sign up for my weekly newsletter, Wednesday Wisdom, to learn tools for peace.

The generously present Trent, Breshena, and Mackenzie at Wild Imagining Theater Company inspired me in this conversation about my play, This Too Could Be Love.

We discuss the intersection of my creativity and spiritual path and the intersection of love and theology. This play has been a semi-finalist in 3 nationwide competitions.

Check out this episode!

This Too Could Be Love:

A nun and an atheist walk into a cafe and… begin a conversation, a friendship, and… maybe more? But can you really call it dating if you only see each other once a week and hardly touch?
