About Our Spiritual Director
Rev. Lola P. Wright grew up in Chicago. She was raised by a family of spiritual seekers. Lola began her own journey of faith around the age of 22 when she found herself as a single mom of two young children.
Rev. Lola began attending Bodhi in 2005. She enthusiastically served and voraciously took classes for the next several years. The teachings and community transformed her life and in 2007 Lola met her husband Nathan at Bodhi. Lola completed her Ministerial training at Emerson Theological Institute. Lola has studied with Mary Manin Morrissey and the Life Mastery Institute, Landmark Worldwide and Jim Morningstar at Transformations.
Lola married her professional experience from years with major financial institutions and her spiritual quest. She is known for her commitment, dedication and perseverance. Her playful and joyful spirit is infectious. And her complete devotion to authentic and clear communication powerfully impacts the people she serves and loves. Lola and Nathan have been married since 2007 and have four children Laurand (17), Trey (15), Caroline (6) and J.P. (3).
