Alongside my work as a Human Development Educator & Spiritual Care Provider, I collaborate with my husband, Rev. Ryan W. Richards, in creating contemplative audio productions, poetry, and music under the name Dove Pax. Our work extends beyond our own albums and performances—we have also been deeply involved in producing a wide range of audio “edutainment” for Broadcast Wisdom, founded by Ryan’s father, Rev. Gola Wolf Richards.

Whether through original songs, spoken word pieces, or reflective audio segments, our creative process is rooted in the same principles that guide our contemplative education work: slowing down, looking inward, and connecting more deeply—with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. These projects invite the listener into a shared contemplative space, where learning and art meet, and where stories, music, and ideas work together to inspire transformation.

On this page, you’ll find a selection of our poetry, song lyrics, and audio works—some drawn from our Dove Pax albums, and others from the contemplative educational content we’ve produced for Broadcast Wisdom. Each piece is crafted to open space for reflection, spark curiosity, and accompany you on your own path of growth.
