Human nature tends to be such that we want to figure out who we are, who “our people'' are, and then settle into whatever feels easiest and most familiar. What's more, psychologically speaking, our brains appear to be hard-wired to seek out people who look, think, behave, and even believe similarly to ourselves. But on the other side of that coin, an increasing number of people are discovering that an even deeper faith life has become possible by leaning into differences and even celebrating them. On this week's podcast, we talk about how enriching it has been to learn about - and share in - the faith traditions of others. Join us for a dialogue centered around the practice of nurturing our interspiritual friendships.NOTE:  At The Contemplative Life, we take seriously our commitment to bring a quality experience to our podcast listeners. In today's podcast, you'll notice some moments where the audio has been affected by internet latency issues. We apologize and are working to resolve the issue for future podcasts.

On this week's podcast, we talk about all of these things and more. We hope you'll join us.Additional ResourcesRestaurant: Spiro's Restaurant near St. Louis, MO#CollegeLife #YoungContemplatives #ChristianMystics #ContemplativeSpirituality #Buddhism #Christianity #Interspiritual #Meditation #ContemplativeSingingSign up for our newsletter here: https://foundrysc.com/connect/newsletter

Many of us get stuck. We wait to create a program beyond private practice because we want it to be perfect before we launch it. And that can leave us waiting forever. My guest today is going to help you let go of that idea. She's letting us in on the many iterations her programs have gone through. The business she has now is thanks to being willing to get started imperfectly. Meet Reverend Maureen Cotton, an Interspiritual minister, serving the spiritual-but-not-religious. She's a spiritual wedding coach and officiant with her business The Soulful Wedding, which helps couples experience their wedding as a transformative rite of passage. Here's some of what we talked about: Starting her pilot with just one couple Realizing she tried to cover too much material too quickly in the first round and making adjustments to simplify it Creating a 2 hour group workshop on vow writing Embracing her role and identity as a spiritual guide Creating The Soulful Wedding Roadmap, her 1:1 offer for engaged couples Using the Marco Polo app for asynchronous communication in her process with couples Annie and Maureen's thoughts about what her prices are and what they should be How she helps people avoid “performative” weddings How Maureen is growing her audience using Instagram Starting her weekly newsletter and finding it easier than she thought it would be Creating a free offer Show notes at https://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/191

In this episode, we are joined by Reverend Matthew Wright, a leading figure in the dialogue on contemplative life and interspirituality. With Reverend Matthew, we talk about Karl Jasper's notion of the “Axial Age”and Ewert Cousins' idea of a “Second Axial Age.” We also discuss the inherently interspiritual matrix from which religions are ‘birthed' (including Christianity and Islam), and explore the deep and surface connections between the ‘Abrahamic Religions' (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), and the notion of an ‘Abrahamic lineage' of spirituality. Some of the connections and topics we discussed include: shared forms of prayer, an emphasis on ‘relationality' vs. identification with God, the notion of idolatry, and the Abrahamic investment in human possibility.The Reverend Matthew Wright is currently priest-in-charge at St. Gregory's Episcopal Church in Woodstock, New York, where he lives in community with the brothers of Holy Cross Monastery in Westpark, New York. He is also a close student of both Cynthia Borgeault in the Christian contemplative tradition, and a dervish of American Mevlevi Sufi sheikh, Kabir Helminski, and sheika Camille Helminski.Links:  Golden Turtle SoundCharis FoundationRev.

I've lately found myself having conversations about certainty––or uncertainty if you like. When philosophical words fail me, I express my meaning by sharing life experiences from the mundane to the mystical. Reverend Maureen Cotton is good with words. She also happens to be great with stories. So many profoundly moving stories in this one! A few trippy ones, too, as well as a flip-the-script moment when the guest casually questions your host.  “I'm no psychic, but I definitely embrace that uncertainty,” says Maureen, an interspiritual minister serving the spiritual-but-not-religious and non-dogmatic people of faith. She's also a soulful conversationalist who distills “faith” into real life without judgement or authoritarianism.  Ultimately, she defines faith as how we choose to live what we've learned from those traditions (either firsthand or in the abstract), not picking the “right one.”  While she began her ministerial career assisting families and their loved ones in death, Maureen's since shifted her focus to wedding/commitment ceremonies. Still, death is never far removed from her ministry. So even on the happiest day of a couples' life (pause for another side-eye directed at the wedding industrial complex), Maureen counsels participants on integrating their deceased loved ones into the ceremony in whatever way feels right.  All religions and spiritual practices can trace their traditions back to when communities experienced a member's death more intimately. What we've since lost is our ability to speak of love and loss in the same breath. Maureen holds space for all the mysteries. Grief, after all, is the price of love. And understanding it is less about uncovering definitive answers than being present in the unknown, honoring each other's experiences and sharing empathy over merely expressing sympathy.  GUEST BIO Reverend Maureen Cotton is an Interspiritual minister, serving the spiritual-but-not-religious and non-dogmatic people of faith. Her true title is "thresholder.” She helps prepare people for life's transformative times, in particular weddings and death & dying.

Interspirituality is a new term for many of us, but broadly speaking, it's the experience of finding the common ground between our faith traditions and appreciating the ways in which those traditions compliment each other. In this episode, we dive into four different ways of being Interspiritual, and we consider how we've seen these ways of being emerging in our own lives and in the world around us. Join us as we explore the beauty of sharing our inter-connectedness. Additional ResourcesBook: The New Monasticsm: An Interspiritual Manifesto for Contemplative Living by Rory McEnfee and Adam BuckoSpeaker: Mirabai Starr's Talk: The Bees in the GardenBook: Foundations in Spiritual Direction: Sharing the Sacred Across Traditions by Beverly Lanzetta#PerennialWisdom#DeconstrucingFaith#ThirdWay#PrayerPracticesFor Transcript:Go to the "Transcript" Tab.If you are in a player that does not have the Transcript Tab, use the link below:https://thecontemplativelife.buzzsprout.com/1642654/9310548-ep-38-interspirituality

Interspiritual pioneer Brother Wayne Teasdale wrote in his seminal book The Mystic Heart, “Daily spiritual practice is the technology of inner change.”  Jeff Genung and Kate Sheehan Roach work at the intersections of digital media and technology, contemplative practice, and Interspirituality. We talk about these intersections in this episode, and give a taste to what they’ll be sharing as workshop presenters at our upcoming Santa Fe Conference in April – which you can learn about at sdievents.org. Jeff is co-founder and president of contemplativelife.org, a non-profit digital hub that connects people and communities with transformative practices. Kate serves as Director of Content for Contemplative Life, and they are both facilitators of Transformation365.org, an online experiential practice network. Towards the end of this episode, Jeff shares a recorded contemplative practice by the late Brother Wayne Teasdale. I invite you as you listen, to participate in this practice, and share the sacred space that Brother Teasdale offers us. Note that there is a four minute period of silence during this space, from approximately minute 44 to minute 48. --- Support for this week's podcast comes from SDI Journeys.

To date, most religions have wanted to claim their own God. In the West the Christian religion has claimed that their God is the only God. That every other God is actually a false god. But what if, like Pope Francis says, we are all meeting the same God in different ways. What if, in fact, each religion, each language of each religion, each ritual, each path, each prayer is but a different language meant to reach but one divine entity, a universal entity who knows we each have different ways of finding our truest spirituality? Would that be such a terrible thing? Or is it that our bias is keeping us from allowing that possibility? Today we are going to learn about an interfaith/interspiritual God. Don't miss it.

Movements of “oneness”—of unity consciousness—are afoot in nearly every arena. As our understanding of the true nature of reality evolves, we're witnessing shifts in healthcare, education, economics, governance, and even religion and spirituality. Learn how you can live an “InterSpiritual” life with Kurt Johnson.

Many people are unaware of the interspiritual dimensions of what we offer here at Naropa - the multiple dimensions that we have here. And the fact that a lot of what we've been researching and studying in the last few years is how millennials and Gen Z in particular approach spirituality. This term talked a lot about: "spiritual but not religious," is only the tip of the iceberg - it actually becomes detrimental to look at it that way. If we broaden it out, we find it’s really about interspiritual dimensions. In terms of spirituality, what Wayne Teasdale talks about is an opening of dialogue and a sharing of wisdom among leaders and practitioners of different religious traditions, because people are no longer satisfied with a singular affiliation. People need to be aware of all the possibilities - and young people, in particular, are not willing to say "I am only going down one path." Special Guest: Stephanie Yuhas.

The Commonality of the Worlds Religions Humankind is evolving into the "Interspiritual Age" where practicing one's faith is demonstrated more by the actions of the heart than in the dogma put forth by the hierarchy of each religion, and love for your neighbor is the universal trait in each of them.

This Convergence Episode brings together major spiritual teachers, writers and leaders, from across our globe's diverse traditions, to discuss Spiritual Practice in the context of the Series' theme, Waking Up and Growing Up. Series Host Dr. Kurt Johnson introduces co-hosts Yanni Maniates and Karuna for dialogue with an inspiring guest list from around the world. Yanni hosts a discussion with renowned Christian contemplative Fr. Thomas Keating and nondual writer and teacher Loch Kelly on nondual spiritual practice and Awakening. Integral philosopher Ken Wilber, co-host of our Episode 1 on Waking Up and Growing Up comments further on their discussion. Then, in the context of today's popularity of Yoga worldwide, and the United Nations proclamation of an International Yoga Day, Kundalini yogini Karuna joins acclaimed yoga teacher Elena Brower in a discussion of Yoga, Waking Up and Growing Up, and the current landscape of Yoga's popularity around the world.

In this inspiring opening episode of The Convergence, renowned integral philosopher and spiritual writer Ken Wilber frames the series with his vision of Waking Up and Growing Up, the maxim he has contributed to integral, interspiritual and holistic movements worldwide. Speaking of Waking Up and Growing Up, the inner and outer work needed for real global change, Wilber emphasizes that although the vision of Waking Up has been with us for millennia, in all our wisdom and philosophical traditions, we never mastered good behavior because of not understanding Growing Up. The vision of Growing Up, says Wilber, has only been with us for a century or so, in our modern scientific and developmental understandings that would allow us to truly move toward the World That Works For All. With an Illuminating and inspiringly detailed landscape of the path of Waking Up and Growing Up that we could choose for the future, Wilber provides a rich and profound framework for future episodes of the series.

What do yoga and Vedanta have to teach us about honoring all spiritual traditions and the roles diverse religions can play in building peace in our world? Swami Vivekananda and Paramahansa Yogananda both modeled an interspiritual approach. How have the seeds they planted helped to build the Interspiritual movement that is growing today? What practices do yoga and Vedanta offer that allow us to find the common ground at the mystical core of all religions? Swami Mahayogananda, from the Vedanta Society of Southern California, joins Yogacharya O'Brian to explore the interspiritual imperative of yoga and Vedanta. Tune in to discover how yoga and Vedanta are building bridges that contribute to our awakening world.

Join us for this conversation with Dr. Kurt Johnson, a scientist and spiritual teacher, who offers us a new vision of spirituality based on the mystical-ecumenism of Brother Wayne Teasdale.

Theme: The Call to the Practice of Prayer As a teenager, Mirabai Starr lived at the Lama Foundation, a spiritual community that has honored all the world's faith traditions since 1967. There, she encountered Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, Native American, and many other prayer traditions. This ecumenical grounding blossomed into teaching world religions, translating mystics like Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, and her latest book God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We have a juicy conversation about her experiences with prayer, what she learned from praying in so many traditions, why Shabbat is essential, and how the SBNR (spiritual but not religious) can pray and pray with joy.
