Hello there, I'm Umalohókan.

(My friends call me Uma)

I am a chaplain and writer based in San Diego, California. For over 30 years, I've walked a path of spiritual care, blending pastoral experience with the timeless wisdom of the Jedi teachings. 

After completing the Initiate Program and a brief apprenticeship with the Temple of the Jedi Order, I now share my personal journey freely on this blog. These writings include backdated journal entries, practical recommendations, and reflections. They are my own independent archive. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Temple of the Jedi Order in any way.

My work focuses on helping others find spiritual support through Jedi-inspired contemplation, rituals, and counseling. As author of Peace Through The Word: A Jedi’s Guide to Lectio Divina (and its updated edition), I explore how ancient Christian practices like Lectio Divina can harmonize with Jedi principles for everyday growth and resilience.

Whether you're exploring Jedi realism, seeking chaplaincy support, or simply curious about blending spiritual traditions, I hope my reflections offer something meaningful. Feel free to explore the blog, reach out via X (@jedichaplain), or check my other resources.

May the Force be with you on your journey.
