Larry Patzer retired as an officer from the Air Force and then worked as an aerospace systems engineer for twenty years. He likes to say that these careers paid the bills, but his passion has been exploring practical spirituality. Larry has lectured, led study groups, and workshops focused on some aspect of spiritual development since the late 1970’s.

Larry has an undergraduate engineering degree and a Master of Data Processing degree.

After “official” retirement, Larry entered a two-year program leading to certification as a Spiritual Director. While providing spiritual counseling, he enrolled in a block of Clinical Pastoral Education. The clinical work was as a chaplain at Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After the five-month clinical block, he continued as a volunteer on-call trauma chaplain for five years.

Larry’s spiritual focus has been on exploring our oneness with the Divine and what models we can develop to experience that oneness in our daily lives.

He lives with his wife, Carol, in Monument Colorado.
