The Call to Practice the Presence

The Soul-Directed Life Book Club for February: Desert Wisdom

One of the first treasures in my library was Desert Wisdom, a compendium of profound prayers and poems from the Middle East, translated by Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz. It is divided into three questions:

Diversity—Why am I here and what is my purpose?

Interiority—Who am I and who is the self?

Communion—How do I live and how do I die?

The questions don’t get any bigger than that! Dr. Klotz joins us from his home in Scotland to share ways to practice the Presence of the divine feminine, Hokman-Holy Wisdom-Sophia, and body prayer from I AM: The Secret Teachings of the Aramaic Jesus CD set.

The Call to Practice the Presence

What are angels? What can science tell us about them? What’s their role? Would you like to know some startling and deep truths about angels? Would you like to stop talking about angels and start practicing their presence? Renowned theologian Matthew Fox wrote a most unusual book The Physics of Angels with scientist Rupert Sheldrake. Dr. Fox joins us for a radical conversation about the reality of angels. In honor of our Medicine Wheel walk, he’ll tell us which angels are the guardians of the four directions!

The Call to Practice the Presence

We begin our walk around the Medicine Wheel in the stillness of the North and silence of Winter where our souls hear the subtle call to practice the Presence. Episcopalian priest and mystic Cynthia Bourgeault has a profound connection with the season of winter and the call of Presence. Twenty winters ago, she left everything she had to live near a hermit monk, teacher, and soul mate in Colorado. Her book Love Is Stronger Than Death is the richest, strangest, most beautiful love story I’ve ever read. Join us for a deep conversation on the living presence of love that continues after death.

The Call to Practice the Presence

Audacity and Linda Martella-Whitsett must be great friends. Her first book has an audacious title How to Pray without Talking to God. In it she says her dearest wish is for us to realize “all that God is we are.” In her new book Divine Audacity, Linda delivers on that wish and guides us to practice the Presence of who we really are and what we’re really here to be—the Light of the Divine in the world.

The Call to Be Still

One day on a cold Cape Cod beach, Anne LeClaire clearly heard the words, “Sit in silence.” The next Monday she decided to not say a word for the whole day. Her husband didn’t like it. Her friends didn’t like it. But the next week, Anne stayed silent for another Monday. Twenty years later, she is still silent two Mondays a month. In a rare media appearance, Anne joins us live from her Cape Cod home to share what she discovered Listening Below the Noise—The Soul-Directed Life Book Club selection for January.
