The JuiceArtist

​

 

The JuiceArtist is here as a resource about juicing, fasting, prayer, ecological theology, plant and animal wisdom, and other random topics.  You can be anyone from a raw vegan, to a minister, to someone who simply wants to learn more about health,  spirituality, or the environment. In a society that advertises and pushes food detrimental to our health and awareness, and food policies that ensure secrecy, Colette Von Hanna is here to help educate one's perception of ecological sentience and ethical consumption. 

 

Colette views the world from an unique perspective. She received her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts (BFA) from the University of North Texas. Studying art and its history shaped her understanding of evolving symbolism, not only of cultures and religion, but how it pertains to politics, language, social dynamics, philosophy, and architecture.  She later received a Master of Divinity (MDIV) from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Her two focuses were in Ecological Feminist Theology and in Pastoral Care of the Death and Dying.  

​

Colette continued her education at the University of Texas at Austin with a Master of Science of Social Work (MSSW).  She studied on the Community and Administrative Leadership (CAL) track and developed her abilites to advocate for social and economic justice, evaluate and implement policy, assess methodologies for program development, leadership and communication to create change, as well as governance and evaluation. Colette also developed a graduate portfolio in Non-Profit Management from the RGK Center in Philanthropy and Community Service, which is in the LBJ School of Public Affairs, also at the University of Texas at Austin.

​

She acquired 400 post-graduate, clinical hours in Chaplaincy in a Level One trauma hospital at University Health in San Antonio, Texas, and acquired 1200 more post-graduate hours in a year-long residency as a Chaplain for Christus Santa Rosa Health System. Colette was at Children's Hospital in downtown San Antonio working with long term Rehab patients, as well as Pediatric Oncology, and Medical. She also worked intricately with Palliative Care at CHRISTUS New Braunfels hospital. Currently, she is in the only Doctorate of Ministry program in the nation in Land, Food, and Faith Formation at Memphis Theological Seminary, and she is obtaining her Texas Master Naturalist certification from the Lindheimer Chapter in Comal County, Texas.

 

Colette is involved in the TOFGA (Texas Organic Farmers and Gardener Association) and has undergone the Natural-Organic Certification from the Texas Organic Research Center (TORC). Her lifelong passions are regenerative, organic food, the fair trade movement, and advocating for transparency in the food trade. She has spent decades researching the relationships between God, the body, creation, and how wisdom literature and stories guide us to to a better way of living / being. Honoring indigenous peoples' way of life, farming techniques, and seeds are also paramount to understanding the connection to land and how it heals the body and feeds the soul.
