The Saint, the Writer, the Mystic with Stefan Reynolds

Contemplative Revolution - A podcast by WCCM Podcast

In this podcast, Dr. Stefan Reynolds reflects on Etty Hillesum, Edith Stein and Simone Weil and how these three geniuses live the crisis of Europe. They were contemporaries, all Jewish and came to a similar practice of meditation and mindfulness as a response to a time of crisis. Stefan looks at their lives and the advice they give for challenging situations. All of them – in more dramatic ways than today – found that their opportunities were increasingly limited, and yet found meaning in the constraints they had to live under. It is a retreat for those looking for a wisdom and joy that can sustain us through times of change and uncertainty.
