Christine Tracy on Just Trust Life: A Journey with Teilhard de Chardin

We had the loveliest of conversations with writer, journalist, and rhetorician, Christine Tracy on her new book Just Trust Life: A Journey with Teilhard de Chardin. Her book and our conversation are about Teilhard, but are both also deeply rooted in how he became a guide and a north star for Christine as she goes on a transcendent journey to find her truest self. What can we learn by letting go of fear and shame and learning to just trust life? We hope Teilhard and Christine inspire you to look within, to trust self, and to transcend. All you need is already within you. Show Notes:Christine's WebsiteJust Trust Life: A Journey with Teilhard de Chardin by: Christine Tracy Teilhard Project ScholarsThe Newsphere by: Christine TracySummer by Frank Weston BensonEmergency Family Assistance Association in Boulder Wilding by Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerQuestions to consider:How can embracing your inner wildness lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life?
