Looking for a keynote speaker, podcast guest, visiting minister or workshop facilitator?
Hi, I’m Devin (Rev Dev), a “Minister of Connection.”
I am passionate about helping others experience more connection to their Connected Self, Others, Spirituality, and All That Is. And I’d love to connect with you and your community.
Everything I do is woven with intention, passion, curiosity and connection. As a speaker, workshop facilitator, spiritual leader or podcast guest, I will partner with you to understand your needs and bring a relevant, interactive, and engaging presentation, workshop, service or episode that captivates and connects.
Topics & Themes I’m passionate about
Outlined below are a few of the themes and topics I am passionate about. I customize all engagements to meet your community’s experiences, curiosities and needs. So these can be combined, pulled apart, added to, or once we chat, I can custom design a topic and setup for you and your community.
How to Live Connected in an Age of Disconnection
Understanding why the world is falling apart and why so many are suffering
Shifting from a focus on independence, wealth and power to focusing on connection
Restoring the balance between the Ego Self & The Soul Self
Choosing connection over disconnection
Exploring the Four Levels of Connection
Connection to Self: re-orienting to being a Spiritual Being (Connected Self/Soul Self) rather than a Human Doing (Ego Self)
Spiritual Connection: re-orienting to being part of something larger than ourselves
Connection to the Land & All that Is: re-orienting to the interconnectedness of all things that we are one part of
Connection to Others: re-orienting to the truth that we are social beings that require community and connection, and allowing that to happen
Worthiness & Connection
How disconnection is driving the lack of worthiness in individuals
Agents and addictions of disconnection and how they repeat the cycles of disconnection
The difference between self-love and Self-love (“Big S” Self)
Living Authentically as your “Big S” Self
Developing a connection with your Connected Self / Soul Self
Developing intuition, trust and faith in the guidance your Connected Self has
Following a path, not a lan
Reconnecting with your Authentic Self - rediscovering what you value, love and who you are
The Difference between fitting in and belonging
A Shift from Religion to Spirituality
The difference between religion & spirituality
How losing religion has impacted us as individuals and as a collective
Interspirituality - all the religions are talking about the same thing in different languages
Interfaith - religious overlaps that allow us to feel more connected to people of different faiths
How spirituality is experienced rather than understood
How spiritual experiences can shape our own experience and understanding of spirituality
A Culture in Crisis
We are meant to live in community & connection - how it’s impacting us that we’re not
What is white culture and how has it impacted us
The gates of grief - how we are living with collective grief we don’t realize
Harnessing the Power of Transitions
Identifying transitions in life - the voluntary and the involuntary
How can we harness transitions to allow for transformation rather than blowing right through them
Allowing ourselves to slow down and be present with our experiences, the ups and the downs
Embracing intentionality, authenticity and connection on our paths forward
Running a Connected Business/Organization
Working The Connected Way - aligning your work with your Connected Self’s values, needs and desires
Leading The Connected Way - incorporating connection-oriented priorities, awareness and communication into your leadership
Creating a culture of connection - re-orienting your organization to connection-based values for your team members, the choices you make in business, and the impact you are having on the collective

Meet your Speaker
Hi, I’m Devin (Rev Dev), your “Minister of Connection.” I’m an Interspiritual/Interfaith Minister, a Ritualist, an Intuitive Life, Relationship & Business Coach, and a Transformative Mediator. I’m also a connector, a seeker, a nature lover, and a big hugger, amongst many other things.
I grew up an over-achieving, people-pleasing excellentist checking off the boxes, climbing the ladders and doing, doing, doing. Until I realized that all the box checking and ladder climbing and doing wasn’t making me happy. In fact, quite the opposite. I had a pretty big breakthrough (that looked a bit like a breakdown) and I finally surrendered control. In the process, I started following an aligned path (and not a plan), found spiritual connection, realized I was intuitive, and changed the way I lived. Since then, I’ve been on a path of listening to my next steps and they have all led to Connection.
