Tessa Bielecki at Naropa University

Last month, the Keating-Schachter Center for Interspirituality at Naropa University hosted Tessa Bielecki as its World Wisdom Teacher-in-Residence. She was on campus all week meeting with students, and later taught a weekend on “Earthy Mysticism.” She also dialogued with Dr. Judith Simmer-Brown on “Naropa’s Historic Buddhist-Christian Dialogues.”

Visitors at Charis Mandala

In October, we were delighted to host Pat Johnson of Contemplative Outreach of Colorado at Charis Mandala. Pat Johnson is a central figure in the history of Centering Prayer. She was accompanied by her delightful husband Bob and our friend Jennie Curtis, also of Contemplative Outreach of Colorado.

The New Monastics Podcast

New Monastic Roundtable: Space Travel with Carla Burns

In this episode, we have a roundtable discussion of spiritual issues with educator Carla Burns. In Part I, we talk about how to slow down and make the ’space’ to hold complexity in our society. In Part II, we discuss the film The Martian and what it has to say about humanity and humanity’s needs. And in Part III, we explore the idea of our planet’s consciousness and how it is expressed today.

The New Monastics Podcast can be found on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, iHeart radio, and more.
