We are honored and delighted to have this gorgeous conversation with the one and only John Phillip Newell. John Phillip chats with us about St. Brigid, having rituals in these unsettling times, connection to the earth, and everything in between. As we stand in the thresholds of life, how might we draw upon the courage and wisdom of St. Brigid? John Phillip invites us to delight in where we are and to find the addresses of our own hearts, wherever they may dwell.Cool stuff we mention this episode (or meant to anyways): Sacred Earth, Sacred SoulEcoVillage, Findhorn ScotlandIona AbbeyThe Great SearchMatthew FoxEarth & SoulChapters00:00 Awakening to the Divine Within02:25 Journey to Fintorn: A Sacred Community06:32 The Essence of Pilgrimage17:20 Attention as Prayer: A Mindful Approach21:48 St. Bridget: Myth and Midwifery28:04 Imagination and Prophetic Wisdom32:53 Imagining a New Future33:57 Bridging Wisdom Traditions34:55 Responding to Authority and Generosity39:45 The Spirit of Our Time43:57 Understanding Brokenness vs. Woundedness51:00 The Role of Ritual in Transformation
