Mandalas & Elimina's Fire with Linda Carleton

Mandalas & Elmina's Fire with Linda Carleton Linda has spent a lifetime integrating her Christian faith with a love for the world’s religious traditions. For 25 years she taught high school history and comparative religions in Connecticut. A wonderful spiritual teacher led her into the United Church of Christ where she could openly wrestle with God. Linda came to feel more secure in her faith following her first mystical experience, which was during a traumatic emotional period. A few years ago Linda joined an Episcopal Church that feeds her mystical nature, observing that “Once I accepted that I did not want to be in the role of ordained minister, sliding into the Episcopal Church was like slipping into a comfy glove.” Linda and her husband Peter retired to Maine in 2008 where she begins each day writing morning pages and meditating. Linda paints, writes, and teaches English to refugees. She finds that working with mandalas draws her into her spiritual center. She began painting mandalas with a Maine theme and also creating custom mandalas for individuals and businesses http://lindacarleton.com/mandala/ She teaches workshops and classes on Mandala Journaling as Spiritual Practice which tap into the energy of each of the mandala Great Round. Linda has just completed her first novel, Elmina’s Fire, and also writes a biweekly blog reflecting on such topics as mandalas, her faith and Peter’s journey with cancer www.lindacarleton.com ************************************************* For more information about BITEradio products and services visit: http://www.biteradio.me/index.html
