Spiritual Exile & Seeds of Promise: A Livestream Teaching & Meditation with John Philip Newell

  • Online - Hosted from Montreat, NC (map)

1:00 PM Eastern Time, 10:00 AM Pacific Time

Celebrated Celtic teacher, John Philip Newell, will tell the story of his own spiritual journey as a way of addressing the much bigger story of spiritual exile in the Western world today and the search for new beginnings, spiritually, politically, and ecologically. Countless numbers of women and men, many of whom are grateful for the essence of their religious inheritance, are nevertheless looking well beyond the walls of the Church to find nourishment and strength. The yearnings that are at the heart of this search hold within themselves seeds of promise for the way forward. They can in fact be part of distilling our faith in the sacredness of the earth and every human being and leading us back to the true heart of our Christian vision. In this livestream session we will reflect together on both the hunger and the hopes that characterize the journey of spiritual exile today. 

The presentation by John Philip will be followed by a shared online meditation as well as the opportunity to submit questions and comments to the moderator of our livestream gathering, some of which John Philip will be able to respond to during the one-hour session.
