Karen Reed
Karen is seeking to live faithfully as a good neighbour in the East Vancouver community of Commercial Drive, believing that we flourish as we help our neighbours to flourish. She is interested in what it means to live well in the city and seeks out ways to disturb the dominant narrative of fear and isolation with subversive acts of generous hospitality. For the first time in her life, she lives slow and rooted, living 90% of her life within a 30 minute walk of her house and has given up her car for a bike. Karen loves to cook, grow food, enjoys a good cup of coffee with a book, and all kinds of water sports. She lives a shared life with five others and is having a blast at this stage of life, discovering the sacred ordinary in her rhythm of life in the city.
Karen has worked most of her life in the non-profit world, serves on numerous non-profit boards and after many years, eventually earned her MA from Regent College.
