Contemplative Practice in a Time of Crisis (#150‪)‬ You Have Permission

Today I'm joined by author and writer Fred Bahnson to discuss some of his work on Christian Contemplative Practice. Fred says, "Political life has replaced inner life as the arbiter of all things." We get into Thomas Merton, emotional recognition, oneness, and the political implications of contemplative practice amidst ecological crises.Fred’s Articles:“Keeping the World in Being”: https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/keeping-the-world-in-being/“On The Road with Thomas Merton”: https://emergencemagazine.org/feature/on-the-road-with-thomas-merton/“The Gate of Heaven is Everywhere” https://harpers.org/archive/2021/01/the-gate-of-heaven-is-everywhere-contemplative-christianity/Books:“Altered Traits”: https://www.amazon.com/Altered-Traits-Science-Reveals-Meditation/dp/0399184384“Into the Silent Land”: https://www.amazon.com/Into-Silent-Land-Martin-Laird-audiobook/dp/B00FPUHBD4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2UJIEHGACGR4D&keywords=into+the+silent+land&qid=1650835368&s=books&sprefix=into+the+silent+lan%2Cstripbooks%2C83&sr=1-1Follow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/Or Twitter: twitter.com/DanKochFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/Edited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia@gmail.com -- he is accepting more work!)Join the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankochEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon: youhavepermissionpodcast@gmail.comYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98Website: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.htmlJoin Dan's email list: www.dankochwords.com/Artwork by sprungle.co/ Hosted on Acast.
