Cynthia Bourgeault is a mystic, priest, and author, who is committed to teaching and spreading the recovery of Christian contemplative practices. So she’s the perfect guide for nomad’s ongoing exploration of contemplative practices.
She’s been a long-time advocate of the meditative practice of Centering Prayer, and so that’s what we quizzed her on.
After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on their own relationship with prayer - pre and post-deconstruction - and ponder what place Centering Prayer might have in their evolving faith.
Interview begins at 14m 30s
