Renuka Purimetla (ASL Interpreter Coordinator)

A Chicago native, Renuka Purimetla, landed in the Baltimore-area studying American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreting. She finds joy as an educator in knowing that life provides opportunities to learn and grow together. Renuka is a Thai Bodywork Practitioner which is a unique healing art integrating mind, body, and spirit to improve overall health and well-being. She honors Rev. Raymont Anderson and Jamie Whitbread, amongst many others, in her growth and development as a healer and leader.

As the ASL Coordinator for The Center of Spiritual Living Greater Baltimore, this service will carry over to Illuminate Festivals with both missions aligned to be strong in body, mind and spirit and to live, love and serve at our highest capacities. Many Illuminate Festivals are open access with ASL interpreting provided by volunteers, student interns and community coming together as we continue on this path of spreading light and love to all.
