I am very pleased to share this conversation I had with my friend Heather Ruce. We covered a lot of ground in this beautiful, spirit filled chat including: the importance of our embodiment in spiritual practice, human nature in its animal and angelic aspects, egregores and archangels as hyper-agents in human history, remembering the untouchable source of life within, connecting to streams of virtue in the hidden recesses of nature, the garden of Eden as a symbol of the human condition, and why it is so important to sing. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed having it!
Heather facilitates Wisdom practice circles, groups, retreats, and Wisdom schools as well as offering teaching and guidance in various embodied Wisdom, contemplative and mindfulness practices including Centering Prayer, Christian meditation, sacred chanting, lectio divina, conscious work, and sacred gestures in service of waking up and putting on the Mind of Christ.

I will be leading a one day online retreat on April 13, 2025 titled Rivers of Living Water. We will sing all of my little prayer songs in a liturgical setting along with teachings for each virtue and an immersive exploration of the symbolic landscape of Eden. There is a suggested donation of $100 USD, however, if the cost is prohibitive, please send me an email and we will work something out. I will be providing more details in a couple weeks.
