Being The Holy Fool: The Path of Sacred Wandering with The Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress

I’m really excited about this episode for various reasons, it is the first episode of my new heart project called “Sacred Paris” which has been a long time in the making - there is something very special about firsts and about THIS first. I’m also excited to welcome my guest today who I feel I found in a very serendipitous and divine way, these are two of my very favorite ways to be connected with others on this path. And, I’m excited to connect two places that I call home (San Francisco and Paris) with this clandestine conversation which feels like such a beautiful way to begin my official love affair with “Sacred Paris.” I was deep into one of the rabbit holes that I like to fall down into studying the labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral (which is just a short train ride from Paris) when I discovered my guest today: The Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress is the author of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice, and The Sacred Path Companion: A Guide to Walking the Labyrinth to Heal and Transform (Putnam/Riverhead Books, New York).  Her latest book is The Path of the Holy Fool: How the Labyrinth Ignites our Visionary Powers.  Artress is an Episcopal priest and Canon Emerita at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. She is a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in the State of California.  She is a Founder of Veriditas a non-profit dedicated to introducing people to the healing, meditative powers of the labyrinth.  The Chartres labyrinth is her passion along with individual psycho-spiritual coaching to help those with a vision give it form in the world. .
