The Way of Beauty Podcast David Clayton

David shares how a chance encounter 35 years ago led him to develop a process – The Vision for You – for discerning one's calling in life through spiritual exercises and daily habits.
Simone Rizkallah was mentored through this process, which helped her reevaluate her life during COVID-19 and accompany others in understanding current events.
Simone has partnered with the Way of Beauty to produce the Daily Routine Journal, providing a place to continue these exercises, to remember how God is working in your life, and to narrow in on your calling each day.

It was my pleasure to be invited by Bonnie Landry, who lives in British Columbia, Canada, to an conversation on her podcast for Catholic families and homeschoolers.

Here are Bonnies show notes:
The Way of Beauty by author David Clayton is a book I’m reading presently. We are loving the book so much that I wanted to interview David to help explore the ideas he presents in light of family life. We can augment the richness of Catholic family life through beauty and parents will reap the harvest of deepening their understanding of beauty and the role it plays in our lives. We expand our ability to contribute to the culture through David’s exceptional book. 6:17 - How do we cultivate an appreciation of beauty in family life? 16:25 - How to engage children in Sacred art18:40 - Harmonious proportion and how it plays out in our lives 34:43 - The Liturgy of the Hours and it's patterns 40:57 - What is the best way to encourage artistic ability in children? 50:23 - The Way of Beauty and The Little Oratory books

Can the love of the common good be recovered when we live in countries
whose culture and institutions seem at odds with it? Should we retreat in
enclaves, join secession movements, or stay put in our local community,
wherever it may be? Can a political common good ever be achieved given the
political realities that we live in? What is the Christian called to do in
such a situation?

A pilgrimage for the conversion of the state and the nation and for
freedom, on the Octave of Pentecost.

David Clayton, Fr Brad Elliot OP, Dr. Michel Accad, and Charlie Deist discuss the rediscovered ideas of Ivan Illich, who died 15 years ago, and in particular an essay from a collection called Shadow Work. His essay describes how the imposition of Castilian as the national language of Spain by Queen Isabella, became a tool of the state for control of the people. We also show how the development of communication through the printing press created a desire to control its use and has parallels today in how big institutions and governments are trying to control the flow of information through the internet.
