Suzanne Baxter

Vice President

Suzanne was drawn into The Circle of Miracles twenty years ago by her partner Vanet when services were held at Hannelore Goodwin’s spirit filled space before it moved to the present location in New Britain. Baxter, as she is referred to, had previously studied Reiki with Beth Gray as had Hannelore. Baxter was drawn to the warm and open welcoming of others on alternative spiritual paths at COM. At that point in time, Baxter was studying Kabbalah which led to her in depth involvement with the Keys of Enoch and the Academy of Future Science.

After completing graduate school in Minnesota, she had considered life as a Transcendental Meditation teacher with training in Spain, but was guided to pursue her career as a psychologist. This evolved through work with foster children, delinquents, as a school psychologist and several therapeutic modalities to her life’s calling as a private practice psychotherapist. Shortly after moving to Center City Philadelphia, she became involved with the Ecumenical Institute/Institute of Cultural Affairs which offered her an opportunity to be involved with their methodology for community work in India, Kenya and Peru. While working on another advanced degree in film and video, she directed a piece called “A Space Between” about using the spiritual principles in community development while in Peru. This was followed by a promotional video about a Metaphysical retreat center in Iquitos and a piece on Ayahuasca and the potential for psychedelics in psychotherapy which only recently has seen mainstream acceptance. She served as the camera person on a documentary about intentional spiritual communities across the country traveling in a fourseat vintage Cessna.

In the 90’s, Suzanne served in the non-profit sector as Chairman of the Board of Directors for Triangle Interests whose mission was to build a retirement community of like-minded women. To finance their projects a National Credit Union was created giving experience to the demands of working on a board. One of the members of that group reintroduced her to the Course of Miracles held at COM and facilitated by Gayle Dulcey which has expanded her unity consciousness and non-duality deepening. She had originally found ACIM while on a retreat in Findhorn, Scotland in the 70’s.

Suzanne balances a life of professional service with her love of adventure travel and awakening as a spiritual being. She has opened her heart and time accepting an invitation to join the on-going mission of The Circle of Miracles community expansion.

Maureen McCLellan

Secretary

Maureen has spent 40 years of her career as a Registered Nurse in an inner city hospital in Philadelphia. During the last five years of her career she was the Surgical Cluster Secretary as well as Interim President for a multi-hospital system. After she retired, she learned how to talk to her Soul and her spiritual gifts revealed themselves to her.

 
She is connected to many enlightened masters, has taught meditation classes and workshops, volunteered for Circle’s events but her true calling is assisting spirits on their journey home and she has been specifically attuned for this.
 
She has devoted her life in caring for people, now in all different capacities. She has a great joy for living and laughter is her second language. She is guided by her love for her husband Scot, her family and dedication to humanity.
 
Back in 2024, Maureen was searching for a new spiritual home, came to Circle of Miracles and found Hannelore Goodwin’s picture on the wall. Hannalore had certified Maureen in Reiki back in 1998, and in seeing this, Maureen knew she was home.

Rev. Michael Camut

Treasurer

Rev. Michael’s spiritual path started over 20 years ago when his wife, LeeAnn, introduced him
to New Thought spirituality. Together they explored multiple spiritual communities and enjoyed
observing many spiritual leaders. Rev. Michael listened to his archetypal callings of a healer and
spiritual guide. This path led him to develop and cultivate his connection within and with
Source allowing him to serve as a channel for divine messages, healing energy, and
mediumship. He is a Reiki Master-Teacher and an ordained minister from the Circle of Miracles
School of Divine Ministries.

Rev. Michael brings a strong foundation in financial stewardship and strategic leadership,

Director of Project Management. Complementing his professional journey, he has served as
Vice President and Treasurer for the Be the Light of the Party Foundation, a local nonprofit,
since 2010, where his dedication to philanthropy made an impact on underserved communities.
Earlier in his career, Rev. Michael’s foundation in electrical engineering propelled him into
managerial roles in engineering. His diverse background – spanning analytical, financial,
business, and spiritual domains – enables a holistic leadership style that benefits both
corporate and nonprofit realms.

Rev. Michael enjoys the breadth of spirituality embraced by the Circle of Miracles community.
He feels honored to serve as the Treasurer and being surrounded by all the gifted and loving
board and community members. He is continually inspired by the many who selflessly share
their time and talents to ensure that the spiritual community evolves and expands. This is truly
the most enjoyable part for Rev. Michael – being around and engaged with Circle’s community

Jan McCloud

Member at Large

Jan brings a lifelong passion for personal growth, spiritual exploration, and community service to Circle of Miracles. Her spiritual journey began in 1990 when she crafted her first shamanic frame drum, opening the door to shamanic journeying and a deep connection with her spirit guides.

Over the years, she has cultivated a strong relationship with her Higher Self, Guides, and Spirit Team, which has been a cornerstone of her personal and spiritual growth. She has explored a variety of spiritual practices and remains open, curious, and enthusiastic about continuing to learn and evolve.

Deeply aligned with the mission and values of Circle of Miracles, Jan is honored to serve on the Board and looks forward to becoming even more engaged in supporting the community. She approaches this role with a spirit of service, collaboration, and lifelong learning, bringing both curiosity and dedication to the work ahead.

One area of interest she hopes to explore is improving access to the Circle’s library resources through the development of an online catalog. Such a resource would allow community members to browse available titles remotely while continuing to check out books in person. Recognizing that the Circle may transition to a new location in the future, she views this as a potential long-term project to be explored once the community is settled in its next home.

Jan is grateful for the opportunity to serve and looks forward to supporting the continued growth, connection, and evolution of the Circle of Miracles community.
