Turning to the Mystics with James Finley

Bonus: The Gift (A Meditation on Advent)

Listen Later

In this bonus episode, Jim Finley offers an Advent meditation on the gift of God in and as our lives. In this teaching, Jim provides an image of this gift, the invitation to awaken to its presence, habituate it through practice, and offer it back to the world. In expressive poetic form and mystical knowing, Jim will draw you into the mystical significance of the Advent season.

We will return in March with our 3rd mystic, St. John of the Cross!
