Leslie Hugo is a Shaman, Usui Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher, and a High Priestess in the Temple of Witchcraft. She previously served as Capricorn Lead Minister.

As the Volunteer Pagan Minister for the Utah Department of Corrections, she works with over to 200 inmates in five facilities who identify as Wiccan, Asatru or pagan. She provides spiritual counseling, teaches Reiki and Wicca classes and leads ritual on the Sabbats. Since starting this work in early 2014, Leslie developed a passion for prison ministry and prison advocacy. She strongly believes that inmates who develop strong spiritual practices while in prison have a much higher chance of successfully reintegrating back into society when are released.

Leslie is an active CUUPs member at South Valley Unitarian Universalist Society and enjoys writing and leading ritual for the community. She is also an environmental activist and is a Life Member of the Sierra Club. She has held leadership roles in the organization for the past 20 years.

Leslie lives with her husband in the Salt Lake City area, where she loves spending time in the mountains, hiking, skiing and communing with the spirits of the natural world. Leslie and her husband grow orchids as a hobby, and they have over 150 orchids in their home.

It is Leslie’s mission to help people awaken to their highest spiritual potential, celebrate the sacred and connect with nature.
