LINDA DARUVALA
Linda Daruvala
Author
Linda grew up in Dorset. An only child, she has always found solitude a comfortable and creative space to inhabit. She gave her life to the Lord at 18 at teacher training college in Winchester, which is where she also began to write. A love of Jesus, travel, contemplation, quiet, photography and art all enable her to meditate and compose her poetry, reflections and prayers. It was at Ffald y Brenin in 2019 that she felt a fresh call from the Lord into “creativity within the healing ministry”.
Linda was a primary school teacher in the UK, and in Brunei where she met her husband Jung. They live in Surrey and have two adult sons, Pete and Simon. Since being healed from Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2010, Linda became a member of the prayer ministry team at Acorn Christian Healing Foundation.
Linda has led a number of creative quiet days to encourage others to express their faith-life in art and crafts. She has herself been inspired by the creativity within many Christian retreat centres, in Ignatian spirituality and new Celtic monasticism.
