I'm Brian Bard, a Spiritual Guide, Director, and Coach with services in Minneapolis, St. Paul, the greater Twin Cities MN area, and online. I’m also a writer with a series of novels in the works, and am active on the InVocation blog exploring spirituality, social issues, and mythology.

I’ve facilitated workshops, classes, ceremonies, and retreats in many different settings: community organizing/activism, funerals, memorials, grief support groups, spiritual communities, schools, theater, and universities. And since 2020, I’ve had countless conversations with people about their experiences during the Pandemic Era, and what they’re hoping for from the Recovery Era. I’ve drawn from all these experiences to assemble these Lessons from the Pandemic, as well as upcoming, comprehensive courses on processing grief and finding your calling. I’m always available to for events speaking engagements, on these topics and more!

Beyond these, I offer guidance for individuals, couples, families, and groups of all beliefs, bodies, and backgrounds in a wide variety of spiritual matters. I accompany and coach clients as they connect with Spirit, Soul, and the Sacred, offering steady presence and fresh insight. Head to my website – invitedinvocation.com – to learn more about my services, my background and training, and a free consult.

I hope to keep working with you in some capacity, and to count you as a subscriber to the InVocation blog!
