Living from the Heart with Peter Traben Haas: Silence, Beauty, and the Contemplative Life

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Peter Traben Haas, author, pastor, and contemplative guide, for a rich conversation about silence, beauty, and the invitation to deeper spiritual union. From his home in the majestic San Juan Mountains of Telluride, Peter shares how landscape becomes liturgy and how the presence of God can be found in quiet walks, sacred words, and the inner stillness of centering prayer.Peter opens up about the joy and challenge of pastoring in a place of overwhelming beauty, the soul’s journey through silence and suffering, and his recent Parkinson’s diagnosis. Together, Rod and Peter explore the long arc of spiritual formation, from early mystical moments in childhood to discovering contemplative community and reintegrating the depth of Christian tradition.LinksCentering Prayers: A One-Year Daily Companion for Going Deeper into the Love of God by Peter Traben HaasChrist Presbyterian Church, TellurideSoulStream LinksLiving from the Heart (Deadline for in-person cohort: July 18, 2025.
