Stacy Wills
Stacy is currently the Creative Expression Facilitator at The McCoy House for Sober Living.
​
A native of Savannah, Georgia, Stacy Wills has lived in Mississippi since 1985. She is a contemplative artist who enjoys working with a variety of traditional mediums such as acrylics, water colors and photography, sometimes combining them with digital technology in a process she developed called "sacred altering."

Stacy leads workshops for individual groups designed to help others tap into their own innate creativity. She is also a trained spiritual director through The Center for Ministry's Journey Partners program.

Stacy has studied extensively with Christine Valters Painters, founder of Abbey of the Arts, a virtual global monastery offering classes, live retreats and a number of resources which integrate contemplative practices with creative expression. Stacy is a member of the Abby's Wisdom Council, and co-facilitates Way of the Monk, Path of the Artist, a 12 week online course.

In 2013, Stacy joined The Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks, a group of men and women from around the world who seek to live out a compassionate, contemplative and creative life, and in 2014 was initiated into The Sisters of the Belle Couer, a sisterhood of sacred life artisans, founded by Sybil Dana Reynolds, author of Ink and Honey. 

Stacy has studied intentional creativity with visionary artist and teacher, Shiloh Sophia McCloud-Lewis.

​Stacy and her husband, Dan, are members of Grace Episcopal Church in Canton, Mississippi. They have three children and four grandchildren.
