James Finley's "Turning to the Mystics" Podcast (link)

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share this fantastic podcast - "Turning to the Mystics" - by one of my favorite spiritual directors and writers, James Finley. This podcast began a little over a year ago and dedicates multiepisode seasons to different mystics, delving into and analyzing their work, teachings, and writings in-depth. All episodes are available for free at the Center for Action and Contemplation's website cac.org (link below) and through Apple Podcasts.

The first season covered the work of Thomas Merton; the second season overviewed St. Teresa of Avila's work; and the current season, which began last week, will delve into the work of St. John of the Cross. It is a soothing, enlightening, and informative podcast, with in-depth lectures, guided prayers, and guided meditation, perfect for anyone on the quest for a deeper spiritual life.

Turning to the Mystics is a podcast for people searching for something more meaningful, intimate and richly present in the divine gift of their lives. James Finley, clinical psychologist and Living School faculty, offers a modern take on the historical contemplative practices of Christian mystics like Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. Leaning into their experiences can become a gateway to hope, healing and oneness. Together with Kirsten Oates from the Center for Action and Contemplation, they explore listener questions and examine their own paths as modern contemplatives in this beautiful and broken world. You can listen and subscribe to Turning to the Mystics through Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher or any podcast player worth its salt.

I hope you all get as much from this podcast as I have.

Many Blessings,

Mark-Alexis
