Eps 236 : Community Witnessing and Care; Cindy S. Lee

My conversation with author, Cindy S. Lee involves topics of great importance and interest to me. Cindy is thoughtful and spacious and one of just a few contemporary authors I cite in my new book on topics of spiritual formation.

We discuss themes of her book: Contemplative Witnessing: BIPOC Centered Spiritual Direction

Some of what we cover:
Avoiding the loss of the sacred self.
Embodied spiritual practices
Spaciousness as a presence we carry
The power of silence in community and what comes after that.
