No Stranger to Grace: A Conversation with Helen Barry

During this podcast conversation, we have the privilege of visiting with Helen Barry—a SoulStream partner, spiritual director, and Irish truth-teller with a love for poetry, the ocean, and humanity in all its glorious complexity. Helen shares her pilgrimage from Ireland to Canada, from the rigid confines of institutional thinking to the wide-open spaces of contemplative living and loving community.Born a little person, Helen speaks honestly about wrestling with anger toward God, walking through grief, and discovering what she beautifully calls “the gift of going deeper.” She reflects on decades spent living and working alongside people with disabilities in the L’Arche community and on her current calling to offer spiritual direction to those who have lived on the streets.Thanks for listening, and please join the conversation!
