The Making of Modern Spiritual Direction with Paul Burgmayer

Welcome to the SoulStream Living from the Heart podcast, a space where we slow down, listen deeply, and explore the sacred invitations woven through ordinary life.Today, we’re joined by Paul Burgmayer, a spiritual director, supervisor, musician, former scientist and educator, and the author of the new book, The Making of Modern Spiritual Direction, which is available now. In this conversation, Paul brings a thoughtful and grounded perspective to the practice of spiritual direction, including its history, its evolving shape, and the ways it invites us to pay attention to the movement of God in our lives.Together, we explore the relationship between thinking and feeling, the gift of deep listening, the wisdom found in contemplative practice, and the importance of finding our own authentic voice on the spiritual journey.Whether you are a spiritual director, a seeker, or simply someone longing for a more attentive and wholehearted way of living, we hope this conversation offers companionship, insight, and an invitation to listen more deeply.Links:Paul BurgmayerSoulStream.orgThe last SoulStream Living from the Heart podcast on SubStack: Living from the Heart with Brent Unrau and Cherie Tetz This is a public episode.
