How do we learn to respond to the world with that same wholeness and healing love? —Cynthia Bourgeault A longtime teacher of Christian wisdom, Cynthia Bourgeault offers the gift of one of her core metaphysical frameworks in this intimate online course, The Divine Exchange. Giving and receiving is essential to the human experience. As we exchange information, goods, energy, sustenance—how do we also connect more deeply to the divine?

These are people like you—like all of us—modern mystics walking the contemplative path, through the transformative experiences that Fr. Richard calls great love or great suffering. In honor of National Poetry Month, we invited our social followers to practice lectio divina (sacred reading) with some of the poetry sent by our contemplative community. From navigating a changing faith to standing in solidarity with suffering, these poems are just a small sample of the beautiful diversity in our spiritual journeys.

This will not impact current students. While our school continues to be a transformational experience, this pause creates a contemplative space for our team to explore all the ways we might deepen engagement and expand what’s possible at The Living School. Although we will miss welcoming a 2024 cohort, we’re excited for the opportunity to reflect, learn, and grow as a team. It’s an honor to share the Christian contemplative tradition through the school and look forward to seeing where the Spirit will lead us as we continue to evolve.
