Episode 2: A Reflection on Contemplative Mind

There is a contemplative dimension of life (CDL) to which we can awaken via nature, science, art or religion. A religious person might say such awakening is a grace and of god’s will. Other’s that it is simply a human potentiality, common to all. This podcast explores how people and traditions understand the CDL and related practices; and how such practices can enrich life experience.
