In this episode we revisit some ideas around habit formation, practicing presence and awareness, the concepts of consolation, and desolation, and finally, learn the practice of Examen. This discipline can grow our capacity to be reflective, growing humans, acknowledging the lows and highs as having the capacity to grow us. We are not finished, we are always beginning again in some sense and examen can help us to highlight habits, parts of our life, and moments that give life and drain it.

Episode 4 - Welcoming Prayer and Healing Prayer

This is a formational podcast for those who want to practice and discern ways to deepen and broaden our spiritual journey through guided practices, enlivening conversations, and engaging with ancient and modern wisdom. Join us as we invite one another into new ways of seeing, listening, and growing. As the title suggests, we are a work in progress. However you‘ve arrived here, you and we can begin again. We will attempt to balance formation and information; theory with practice. 

Always We Begin Again is hosted by Adam Nelson, a Christ-imitator, a liturgist, a dreamer, a creative from the suburbs of Chicago, but will draw on many voices.
