The book is a 12-week journey exploring the interplay between contemplation and creativity. In this episode, Stephen talks with Christine about her thoughts on humility, radical generosity and what it means to be an urban monk and a part-time hermit.Featured Music by Latifah Alattas of Moda Spira. Visit http://www.makersandmystics.com for additional content by Moda Spira.
