Eps 156 | Celtic Practices; and Poetry of Christine Valters Paintner

Abbey of the Arts founder, poet, spiritual director, writing retreat host, adventure guide, mystic, and transplant to Galway, Ireland, Christine Valters Paintner joins me today. She reads a few poems from her book Dreaming of Stones as discusses some of the 12 Celtic practices from her insightful book: The Soul's Slow Ripening: 12 Celtic Practices for Seeking the Sacred. We cover the nature of darkness as it pertains to new life, the surrendering practice of Perigrinatio, learn about the patron saint of bees, how to bless each moment, finding home and quite a bit more.
