Trinity Talks: An Exploration of Mysticism with Mirabai Starr
The writer reflects on the sacredness of ordinary life.
Author Mirabai Starr will share wisdom from her new book, Ordinary Mysticism: Your Life as Sacred Ground, which challenges readers to discover the extraordinary in the everyday. Grounded in lessons from spiritual teachers across the centuries and informed by her own experiences of heartbreak, Starr’s teachings offer an antidote to despair in these turbulent times, and a roadmap back to our common heart and common humanity.
After reading selections from her book, Starr will be in conversation with the Rev. Dr. Mark Bozzuti-Jones, Director of Spiritual Formation at the Trinity Retreat Center.
