About Rev. Donna Starr
Rev. Donna Starr (she/they) is a minister, ceremonialist, and spiritual seeker whose path has been shaped by decades of devotion to the sacred in all its forms. A co-founding minister of Emerald Valley Center for Spiritual Living in Eugene, Oregon — which she birthed alongside her wife and co-minister, Rev. Lynda Lundry-Starr — Rev. Donna has served the Centers for Spiritual Living community since 1995, becoming a Licensed Practitioner in 2012 and a licensed minister in 2022.
For more than 35 years, Rev. Donna has been facilitating sweat lodges, holding the ceremonial container with reverence, presence, and an ear always tuned toward the deeper wisdom beneath the forms. Her spiritual journey has woven through many traditions and cultures, and she brings that richness to every space she creates.
The Science of Mind teaching that lives most vividly in her heart is the Omnipresence of God — the radical, liberating truth that there is no place where the Divine is not fully present. “God is right where I am, in me, as me, and all around me,” she says. “That reminder has carried me through every moment of disconnection.”
When she’s not leading ceremony or spiritual community, you might find Rev. Donna in her kitchen — her most meditative space — creating something delicious, or floating a river on an innertube. A passionate advocate for LGBTQIAP+ rights and visibility, she brings her whole self to every room she enters.
