Today we’re talking about some of the many ways in which Nature seems to have the power to bring us in touch with The Divine, allow goodness to flow in our lives, and even help us navigate our more difficult seasons. How we interact with nature may change depending on the season of life we’re in. But somehow, it would seem that Nature can often speak to us like nothing else can. Join us for this exciting conversation. #SaintFrancis #Indigineous  #Seasons #NatureMetaphors Additional Resources: Author: Judy Cannato Author: Wendell Berry Author: <a href='https://www.patmccabe.net/'>Pat McCabe</a> Band: Coldplay – <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&amp;v=gXgf5smLEgQ'>Higher Power</a> For Transcript: Go to the &quot;Transcript&quot; Tab.

Ep 25 Burnout

Discover the gifts of deep listening and spiritual companioning. This podcast is dedicated to helping people become familiar with the wide variety of contemplative practices that have been developed over hundreds of years and are continuing to develop even to this day. We also hope to create a space for people to learn more about spiritual direction, also known as spiritual companioning. Our interest is in allowing "the contemplative" to become a part of our regular life experiences, and so we cover a lot of ground! How does Art fit? Music? Exercise? How does my personality play into my experiences? What if I don't feel comfortable with silence? What if I don't even know what I think about God? And what you'll find is that, since there are 3 of us co-leading the podcast, each of us often comes with a slightly different point of view. So there's no cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all conversations! We hope you'll join us!
