Embracing the Shelter-in-Place: Carly Lynch and Victor Lemus

Voices of Santa Clara Podcast

This episode was released Thursday, March 19—three days after Santa Clara county joined five other Bay Area counties issued shelter-in-place mandates and Santa Clara University announced all spring quarter classes would be online. Besides the obvious public health measures and precautions, this change will bring about many spiritual, emotional and relational issues that will require reflection and intentionality.

Carly Lynch is the Director of Religious Diversity in Campus Ministry at Santa Clara. She has a Bachelors from Azusa Pacific and a Masters in Theological Studies from Boston University and is a resident expert on mindfulness, religious pluralism and embracing slowness.

Victor Lemus is the Director of Retreats for Campus Ministry, and studied at Loyola Marymount University and Santa Clara’s Pastoral Ministry program. Victor hails from Guatemala and worked at Greg Boyle’s Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles before coming to Santa Clara.

Both Carly and Victor are two of the most wise, centered people I know, so I thought an episode talking to them about the nature of the shelter-in-place caused by the Coronavirus would be a perfect antidote to the anxiety many of us feel right now.
